The Raben Group

The Raben Group We believe the best approach to complex public policy challenges is to understand them from the ground up – carefully considering the client, the substantive issues, the political environment, and the audiences our clients must reach to attain their objectives.

Faith & the Family: Exploring faith as a core of the Black family

As the U.S. continues to diversify in both its racial and religious make up, how have various religious traditions worked to incorporate Black families into their communal life?

We are excited for our next #RabenTalk on February 23 at 1p ET! Join us for a compelling #BlackHistoryMonth conversation on the role religion plays in today's Black families.

The Case for Bringing Back Affirmative Action

What's at stake for California, and the nation, as voters make their decision about Proposition 16?

Against the backdrop of the national reckoning on racial injustice, voters in California will decide whether to reinstate affirmative action in public employment, education, and contracting by voting on Proposition 16 in the upcoming election. How has its predecessor, Proposition 209 — which banned affirmative action in 1996 — impacted communities of color in the past quarter of a century and what’s at stake for California, and the nation, as voters make their decision about Proposition 16?

Join us and our friends at The Campaign for College Opportunity on October 20 for this important and timely conversation with its president, Michele Siqueiros; Vincent Pan, co-executive director at Chinese for Affirmative Action; Eva Paterson, president at Equal Justice Society; and Thomas A. Saenz, president and general counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF). Michael Torra, principal at The Raben Group, will moderate the discussion.

What Senate Democrats Need to Do Next Week

A must-listen to interview between Raben Founder Robert Raben and Slate.com’s Dahlia Lithwick on next week’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Tune into this week’s episode of the “Amicus” podcast for a frank and real discussion on political strategy — what progressives and conservatives have historically done differently on federal judicial nominations, and a thesis for effective strategy, branding and action in the years to come.

Judicial nominations are political. Why has it taken Democrats decades to figure that out?

From Rodney King to George Floyd: The Evolution of Policing in America

The U.S. is going through a seismic shift in public opinion about policing. A recent poll found Americans were more troubled by the actions of the police by a more than two-to-one margin — but, how did we get here?

On September 22, join us for a discussion with Roy L. Austin, an alumnus of the Obama administration with extensive experience investigating and prosecuting hate crime and police brutality cases around the country, as he explains how we got here on policing from Rodney King to today. Justin Wilson, director at The Raben Group, will moderate.

The U.S. is going through a seismic shift in public opinion about policing.

How We Fight in Honor of Justice Ginsburg

"Ruth Bader Ginsburg, cosmically dying on Rosh Hashanah, leaves an enormous legacy — and a part of that is she'd like us to fight like hell for her. For the tens of millions of women for whom she meant the world."

Our Robert Raben has ideas on how we do that.

My mother is 91, and Jewish. When I told her Justice Ginsburg died, she wept. I haven't seen my mother cry much since my father, her husband of 64 years, died seven years ago.

They're 'ALL IN'

Political strategist and social activist L. Joy Williams, Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning filmmaker Liz Garbus, and Oscar and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Lisa Cortés will join us to discuss the new documentary, All In: The Fight for Democracy. Set to premiere on September 9 in select theaters and globally on September 18 on Amazon Prime, Garbus and Cortés’ film exposes voter suppression as an insidious problem that has corrupted our democracy from the inception of our Nation. With the perspective and expertise of Stacey Abrams, the former Minority Leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, the documentary offers an insider’s look into laws and barriers to voting that most people don’t even know is a threat to their basic rights as citizens of the United States.

Made in America: What's Next for Dreamers, Asylum Seekers, and the Immigration Reform Movement?

The uncertainty for millions of Americans, immigrants and mixed-status families in the U.S. over the last three and a half years has been unprecedented. From attempts to terminate DACA to the termination of TPS programs for thousands of vulnerable immigrants to the reduction of the number of refugees allowed into the country, the U.S. under this Administration has been clear about who they do NOT want here. Yet, the U.S. also relies heavily on the immigrant workforce in the areas of agriculture to care giving, to service sectors, as well as science and tech, and more. Join us for a conversation with Julissa Arce, author, immigrants rights advocate and poet, and Greisa Martinez, Executive Director, United We Dream. The road has been rough, but leaders of the immigrant and Dreamer movement persist. In fact, support for DACA recipients has grown. What has changed? What can we expect in the next Congress? And, will the SCOTUS be there for us, again?

Using both memorable and milk-toast examples to guide the discussion, industry experts will perform a messaging autopsy on the campaigns that led us to mobilize and the ones that despite their importance, left us sitting at home. This will be a timely and much-needed discussion as we consider messaging the movements that will lead to a more just and equitable nation.

What Should Black America Demand in the First 100 Days and Beyond?

The nation’s racial equity leaders continue to spotlight a hard truth: since America's founding, exclusion has been a defining characteristic of our country, undermining the very strength of our democracy. That exclusion is evident in the enduring policy decisions that have long harmed Black people and resulted in ever-widening racial disparities in employment, health, wealth, and education. It is a painful – and hopeful – time. A Black woman is making history as she joins a major-party presidential ticket just as a growing number of national and local leaders are speaking the truth about systemic racism and taking concrete steps to dismantle it.

But how do we translate this energy and momentum into a meaningful national agenda for Black America? How do we hold the next administration accountable – in the midst of an economic and public health catastrophe – to not only center Black people but to pursue racial equity in a way that benefits everyone? Join some of the nation’s leading civil rights and racial equity voices for a discussion of what the first 100 Days of the next administration – and beyond – should address and what we can expect the people marching will demand.

Dismantle, Change, Build: Embodying the Spiritual Imperative of Our Times

...are we brave enough to imagine beyond the boundaries of “the real” and then do the hard work of sculpting reality from our dreams? – Walidah Imarisha

What is the spiritual imperative to change, build, and dismantle the systems of oppression that have led to so much violence, death, and deprivation in our world? We have brought together a group of powerful spiritual leaders who have been imagining and creating new spaces of belonging where the chasm between the change we long for and our capacity to make that change can be bridged. The systems of racial injustice, economic inequality and environmental degradation currently plaguing our national and global existence are not inevitable but to change them we have to commit to a new spiritual imperative this election cycle and beyond. This conversation will not just inspire you but will offer tangible suggestions for how we build the world we want not in the distant future but now.

AIDS vs. COVID-19: How Painful Lessons Should Shape Today's Response

The COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as one of the worst public health crises the nation has ever faced. To make matters worse, the nation's current handling of the crisis has resulted in COVID-19 having a disproportionate impact on minorities and other historically marginalized communities. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, is not the first mysterious globe-spanning disease to ravage the country and fall unevenly upon our communities. This conversation among LGBTQ journalists, historians, and advocates will explore the government and medical response to COVID-19 compared to the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic, as well as dive deep into the hard lessons the LGBTQ community was forced to learn, and how those lessons can be applied to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Who Decides? Making the Choice for our Children

While the current pandemic raises issues about how we provide a high-quality education for all students in a crisis, the question of how to provide equitable opportunities for all students, especially Black, Latinx and low-income students, is not a new one. Recently polling shows that a majority of Black and Latinx parents support charter schools; the very schools that serve a disproportionately high number of low-income students and Black and Latinx students. Please join us to hear directly from charter students, parents and school leaders about why they chose their school and what their schools are doing to provide a high quality education to all of their students.

Join us as these survivors of incarceration and solitary confinement provide a glimpse into their life’s work to blow up the culture of the correctional system and declare solitary confinement inhumane.

Future Flow: Climate Change & Migration

This conversation will highlight how Black/Indigenous/people of color are being displaced across the globe by climate change and how they are springing into action.

The fight for the environment, from Paris to the Green New Deal
The fight for the environment, from Paris to the Green New Deal

The next round of U.N. climate negotiations took place in early December, and Green New Deal climate advocates and their allies watched the proceedings carefully. At the same time, the debate as to what constitutes a Green New Deal continues, as various proposals across the political spectrum offer conflicting visions of the path forward. On December 5, Raben hosted a far-reaching discussion with some of the key thinkers and activists in the climate change space. House Natural Resources Chairman Rep. Raul M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.), Sunrise Movement Co-Founder and Political Director Evan Weber, Center for American Progress Director of Ocean Policy Miriam Goldstein, and Data for Progress Vice President of Policy & Strategy Julian Brave Noisecat discussed opportunities for action, the overall popularity and political feasibility of the Green New Deal and other climate action plans, how climate activists and sympathetic politicians can hold recalcitrant policymakers accountable, and a roadmap of what to expect ahead of the 2020 election. The discussion was moderated by HuffPost Senior Environmental Reporter Alexander Charles Kaufman.

Effective communication is one of the primary challenges of our time — at work, at home, online, and particularly in today's culturally charged environment. Even though we have more tools at our fingertips than ever before, we still struggle to be heard and to connect with others. We recently hosted an intimate conversation with Andrew Blotky, author of "Honestly Speaking: How the Way We Communicate Transforms Leadership, Love, and Life." Andrew shared lessons and tools for speaking honestly and connecting more authentically with everyone in your life in a discussion moderated by Raben Principal Yochi Dreazen.
