On the radio show this week, we discuss how the wage gap moms experience impacts our families and our economy, with May marking not just Mother’s Day, but also Moms Equal Pay Day. We talk about how the Trump administration is using our tax dollars for human rights abuses against immigrant families, and how you can speak up to your Members of Congress and support mixed-status families in your community. We dive into the rural mental health crisis, especially for rural moms experiencing isolation and barriers to treatment, and why the proposed cuts to Medicaid would make this even worse. We close the show with an inside discussion about what's happening in Washington, DC right now with the Republican budget, and why you need to call your U.S. Representative right away and tell them to protect Medicaid, SNAP, child care and more.
