On the radio show this week, we dive into the power of Pride and its roots in protest, plus get tips on how to continue to learn and grow as an LGBTQIA+ ally. We also hear about the massive economic value of unpaid care work, totaling $1.1 trillion annually. We cover how you can be a part of the nationwide FamiliesFirstNow.org activations on July 26, the first day members of Congress are home on recess after the disastrous Big Bad Betrayal Bill was signed into law with its huge cuts to Medicaid and other key programs. And we discuss the transformative power of personal storytelling in creating social change, and how to find the courage to tell your own story.
