关于我们

Be A Hero is a people-powered organization founded by Ady Barkan and Liz Jaff. The two met when Liz filmed Ady's confrontation of Senator Jeff Flake on a plane, pleading with him to vote against the Tax Bill in 2017, as it would save his life. But the story of Be a Hero began before that, with a choice. Four months after the birth of his son Carl, Ady Barkan was diagnosed with ALS. Confronting his own mortality, Ady had to decide how to make the most of his remaining time. After Ady’s interaction with Senator Flake went viral Ady and his co-founder Liz Jaff started Be a Hero to confront members of congress about healthcare using the power of the human story. Since then, Be a Hero has taken on impossible fights and amplified countless stories of incredible heroism in the face of injustice.

    Today, marking the one-year anniversary of his passing, People’s TV and Be A Hero are proud to release – for the first time – the full, uncut conversation between Kamala Harris and Ady Barkan. Filmed in 2019 during the making of the acclaimed documentary Not Going Quietly Film, this intimate, tearful discussion captures an emotional side of Harris that audiences have never fully seen. While ten minutes of this interview were released during the 2019 primary, the complete, nearly one-hour exchange has remained unseen—until now. We are releasing this footage on the one-year anniversary of Ady’s death to highlight his powerful legacy at this crucial moment, to invite viewers to see Harris’ character, and to reflect on healthcare justice and the urgency of political engagement as we approach a pivotal election. https://lnkd.in/ez7JNi4G

    Can you imagine an America where housing, health care, a college education, dignified work, family care, an inheritance, and an income floor are not only attainable by all but guaranteed, by our government, for everyone?This is not science fiction. The Guarantee Economy has gone from emphatically impossible to attainable in just the last few years. During the pandemic, we saw monthly checks to families, the cancellation of student debt, payments to help with rent, and the development and distribution of a free vaccine, to name a few. Not since the New Deal have we seen such a nimble and far-reaching response from the US government — and a serious cultural challenge to economic precarity and burnout.If you’re ready for a new way of thinking about the economic and social fabric of the country, don’t miss?The Guarantee. https://theguarantee.us
