Breaking Through with Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner (Powered by MomsRising)

From who voted how and why, to Russians rigging our election and an explosion of fake news sites and bot Tweets, to why we need to stand against Trump’s appointees who are self describe “alt-right” white supremacists like Steve Bannon.  We are #PickingUpThePieces and taking action toward liberty and justice for all!   *Special guests include: Melanie Campbell, president and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and convener of the Black Women’s Roundtable Public Policy Network, @coalitionbuildr; John Neffinger, President of the Franklin Forum and author, @Neffinger; Andrea Mercado, National Domestic Worker Alliance,  @domesticworkers; Maggie Humphreys, MomsRising, @MomsRising

On this show we cover how we’re going to take back America to make sure every person can thrive from addressing the hate crimes happening in our nation, to making sure our national budget, healthcare, and workplace policies don’t get gutted, we talk about the new political climate and what you can do to make a difference.   *Special guests include:  Heather Cronk, Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), @ShowUp4RJ;  Judy Conti, National Employment Law Project (NELP), @NelpNews; Dania Santana, Embracing Diversity, @DiversityUS; Kelly Whitener, Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy’s Center for Children and Families (CCF), @GeorgetownCCF; and Bill Finkbeiner, political commentator.   featuring music from bensound.com
