Breaking Through: SNAP Under Attack, Voting Rights Crisis, Paid Leave Wins, & Reproductive Justice
On the radio show this week, we dive into the attack on SNAP by Republican leaders and hear from a visionary state leader about the lawsuit fighting the unlawful withholding of these critical funds. Next, we examine the ongoing crisis in voting rights in America and how people can ensure their vote counts. Following that segment, we celebrate major state victories for paid family medical leave, including landmark legislation in California (SB 590), which updates leave to include chosen or extended family members and boosts state economies. Then we close the show with an expert detailing the dangerous "pro-natalist agenda" and the fight for reproductive justice, choice, and freedom.
