Pride Month is a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community and the people within it, past and present, who have fought to make our country and lives safer and stronger. It is also about the importance of being able to live authentically, and moving the dial toward a world where everyone is safe, thriving, and not discriminated against in any way. And on that front, there is a lot of work left to do.

The House of Representatives Republicans are at it again! In the same month they cut SNAP (food stamps) for older adults and limited funding for childcare and WIC, they also introduced a new tax bill that would give massive tax cuts to wealthy corporations and the super rich! We will not stand quietly by as more tax breaks are given to Big Business while our families suffer!

There have been a few versions of songs called Cruel Summer, from Bananarama in the 80s to Taylor Swift in the 2000s and though they are total bops, they can unfortunately also be a theme song for the fact that summer can be exceedingly cruel on the wallets of families around the country.

On the radio show this week we dive into the fact that U.S. House Republican leaders are pushing for tax breaks for the wealthy and, at the same time, pushing for big cuts to programs that lift families and our economy like WIC and SNAP; we get history on gun policy in America and advice on what we need to do right now to increase gun safety; and we hear about the ways in which LGBTQIA+ parents and families are facing discrimination and what needs to happen to stop that discrimination.
