Breaking Through - Stacey Abrams, Care Wins and Losses of 2025, Taking the Fight to 2026
On the radio show this week we dive into the political landscape in 2025 with Stacey Abrams and the need for resilience, action, and rebuilding trust in democracy in 2026. We hear about the severe Medicaid cuts in the Big Bad Betrayal Bill, and what this means for children’s health care and long-care. We cover the power of storytelling to shift public policy and opinion, and how to share your story effectively. We close the show with a look back at 2025 and some of our hard-fought victories in health care and child care, and how we’ll continue the fight in 2026.
