Taylor Darcy is the founder and host of We Dissent Media, a pro-democracy network that cuts through spin to explain how power works—and how people win it back. A San Diego attorney and business law educator, Taylor brings courtroom clarity, a teacher’s patience, and a parent’s moral compass to daily coverage of civic life. On Daily Dissent, We the Unheard, and Perfect Union Pending, Taylor connects micro-events to macro systems so audiences leave informed, energized, and ready to act.
Taylor Darcy is a civil attorney, educator, and the founder of We Dissent Media—home to Daily Dissent (weekday live news), We the Unheard (narrative resistance stories), and Perfect Union Pending (policy explainers). Taylor’s north star is simple: tell the truth, map the systems, protect democracy. As a business law instructor and working lawyer, Taylor translates legal power—courts, agencies, contracts—into plain language with moral clarity and zero gotcha punditry. A father of six, Taylor blends empathy with rigor, centering people most impacted by policy failure while refusing false equivalence.
Taylor Darcy is the founder and host of We Dissent Media, a bold civic media network dedicated to exposing authoritarian drift, corporate capture, and democratic erosion, without tribal spin. Through three flagship shows—Daily Dissent (weekday, 60‑minute live analysis), We the Unheard (narrative storytelling featuring people overlooked by power), and Perfect Union Pending (plain‑English explainers on laws, institutions, and constitutional mechanics)—Taylor connects the headlines to the systems beneath them, helping audiences understand not just what happened, but why it matters and what we can do next. A San Diego‑based civil litigation and business attorney, business law educator, Taylor built a career translating complex legal structures into everyday language that empowers rather than intimidates. That mission is personal: watching a family small business lose money to poorly drafted contracts clarifies how power hides in paperwork—and how clarity can change lives.
Today, Taylor’s work focuses on civic education and media ethics: refusing false equivalence, naming disinformation, and elevating real people over horse‑race spectacle. As a guest, Taylor brings three superpowers: a trial lawyer’s discipline for facts, a teacher’s craft for accessible explanation, and a parent’s grounding in human stakes. The result is a high‑signal conversation that respects your audience’s intelligence and time. Expect honest analysis of courts and constitutional power, practical frameworks for recognizing propaganda, and empathy for communities shouldering the consequences of policy failure—production matters.
We Dissent’s ethos is captured in its mantra—Truth. Power. People. We center moral clarity and democratic commitments without collapsing into tribalism. We praise good‑faith actors across parties, call out bad‑faith tactics wherever they arise, and always steer toward agency and action. If your audience is disillusioned but not resigned, Taylor will meet them where they are—with evidence, history, and hope.
