Fighting Fascism, Stopping Sneaky Voucher Programs, Celebrating Pride Month
On the radio show this week we dive into the definition of fascism, its impact on immigrant families and our communities, and how YOU can protect students in your community. We hear about the One Big, Betrayal Budget Bill and its harmful effects on public education through harmful voucher proposals Republicans have snuck in as yet another benefit for the wealthiest families. Next, we cover the devastating consequences of voucher programs in Florida, showing how they undermine public schools and why we don’t want to follow Florida’s lead as a nation. We close celebrating Pride Month and discussing the ongoing challenges facing the LGBTQ+ community, particularly regarding health care access.
