Go Hard or Go Home with Jamie Allison feat. Representative Lateefah Simon

Welcome back to Break Fake Rules! In the season three premiere, Jamie Allison, Executive Director of the Walter and Elise Haas Fund, co-hosts with Glen Galaich to discuss the fake rules we need to break to relieve the pressure nonprofits are under at the outset of 2026.

Special guest, Representative Lateefah Simon (CA-12), joins from Capitol Hill to reflect on her journey from nonprofit leader to federal policymaker. At a moment of intensifying fear and political division, Representative Simon calls on us to reject division, protect nonprofits, and do more for our communities.

💡Representative Lateefah Simon: “If we’re not going to go hard, we should go home.”

Tune in for a candid conversation about breaking through partisan divides and making real change in our communities.
