Saving Democracy, Protecting Medicaid, Fair Treatment of Immigrant Families, Defending Public Education

  • Resumen

  • On the radio show this week, we dive into the overwhelming attacks on democratic institutions coming out of this White House and DOGE, and local actions you can take to protect democracy that really make a difference nationally. We discuss the huge economic benefits of Medicaid, including job creation for care workers and coverage of essential services for aging and disability care, so you can call your representatives and tell them to protect Medicaid! Next, we cover the devastating economic and moral impacts of mass human rights abuses, and how to provide support in your community for immigrant families. Finally, we talk about the loss of expertise and resources at the U.S. Department of Education under the Trump administration, and how to fight back against further attacks.
