Maria and Julio talk with Heather McGhee, activist, author and host of the new podcast “The Sum of Us,” produced by Higher Ground and Futuro Studios. They get into Heather’s journey covering multiracial solidarity movements across the United States. They also talk about the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, and the results of Kansas’ ballot initiative on abortion rights.
