Welcome to Represent More + Episode 1
This is Represent More, a project of We Are Them Media.
Represent More is a podcast about power — who has it, who doesn’t, and what happens when accountability disappears.
Hosted by Ryan and Shireen Clarkson, founding partners of Clarkson, one of the leading nationwide public interest law firms, the show pulls back the curtain on the systems that quietly shape our lives: healthcare, AI and technology, workplaces, consumer markets, and the legal structures meant to protect everyday people. They share lived experiences both in the courtroom and outside of it: unsafe products, deceptive practices, unchecked corporate behavior, and real harm that too often goes unanswered.
Each episode blends candid conversation with hard-won insight from decades of consumer and civil litigation. Ryan and Shireen share what they’re working on (to the extent they can), what they’re seeing in the world, and how powerful interests are evolving faster than the mechanisms designed to hold them accountable. Along the way, they explore what it actually means to “represent more” — more people, more truth, more courage, and more pressure on systems that benefit from silence.
This podcast isn’t legal advice.
It’s transparent, values-driven, and grounded in the real consequences faced by consumers, workers, and families every day. It’s for the outsiders, the believers, and anyone who understands that justice doesn’t move on its own — it moves when people demand it.
If you’ve ever felt like harm has been normalized, like power goes unchecked, or like your voice doesn’t matter in systems built to exclude you — this show is for you.

We Are Them: Represent More – Episode 1
Ryan Clarkson and Shireen Clarkson launch Represent More with their first-ever episode, discussing the intersection of technology, civil rights, and corporate power.
They break down:
Why AI companies should be held accountable for harms caused by their algorithms
The constitutional crisis unfolding with ICE enforcement and the tragic deaths of Alex Pretti and Renée Good
How corporations privatize profits while socializing harms—from Big Tobacco to Big Tech
Government officials’ immunity from defamation lawsuits, even when they lie
Plus: Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, why athletes and artists should use their platforms, and the “Rose, Bud, Thorn” closing reflection.
Love it! Such a necessary conversation.
