It seems everyday we are pulled in different directions on social media. However, what we are feeling seldom resonates. Enter David Jay! A master in building movements including leading it for the Center Humane Technology. In this episode, we will learn precisely how to build a movement, and why communities are perpetually underfunded.

David Jay is an advisor of the Integrity Institute and played a pivotal role in the early days of the Institute. He is also currently the founder of Relationality Labs which hopes to make the impact of relational organizing visible so that organizers can be resourced for the strategic value that they create. In the past, he has had a diverse range of experiences, including founding asexuality.org, and as chief mobilization officer for the Center for Humane Technology.


Here are some of the questions we answer on today’s show:

  1. How do you create, scale, and align relationships to create a movement?

  2. How to structure stories to resonate?

  3. How to keep your nose on the edge for new movements?

  4. How to identify leaders for the future?

  5. Why David Jay is excited by the Integrity Institute and the future of integrity workers?

  6. Why community based initiatives don’t get funded at the same rate as non-community based initiatives.

The Ultimate Guide to Election Integrity Part II

Elections matter, and history has demonstrated online platforms will find themselves grappling with these challenges whether they want to be or not. The two key questions facing online platforms now, as they stare down the tsunami of global elections heading their way, are: Have they initiated an internal elections integrity program? And if so, how do they ensure the best possible preparation to safeguard democracies globally?

The Integrity Institute launched an elections integrity best practices guide on “Defining and Achieving Success in Elections Integrity.” This latest guide extends the first and provides companies – large or small, established or new-on-the-block – concrete details as they fully implement an elections integrity program.

Today on the podcast, we talk to four contributors about this guide: Glenn Ellingson, Diane Chang, Swapneel Mehta, and Eric Davis.

How to Find Your Place in Trust & Safety: A Story of Career Pivoting

Working in Trust & Safety can be difficult, and many in our field are struggling right now. This episode is dedicated to everyone who is looking for work, has been laid off, is trying to pivot their careers, or is feeling burned out and doesn’t know what to do next.

We also touch on mental health, identity, self worth, and how working in Trust & Safety has unique challenges (and rewards).
