Motherhood Medals? No Thanks! Unpacking the Damaging Proposals to Increase the Birth Rate & Other Racist Policies from the White House. How to Protect LGBTQ Students and Unaccompanied Minors.

On the radio show this week, we dive into Donald Trump's latest round of harmful, racist executive orders and outlandish ideas, like providing medals for motherhood and classes about menstrual cycles to increase the birth rate — instead of policies that moms and families really need to thrive! We discuss the rise in discriminatory policies affecting LGBTQ youth and the misrepresentation of civil rights law. Next, we hear about how parents and teachers living abroad on military bases are handling this onslaught of attacks on public education. Finally, we cover how community support and advocacy can help children caught up in our inhumane immigration system receive the legal representation they need and deserve.
