To help us understand how the White House's executive actions impact families, Emily talks with Heather Boushey, a member of the Council of Economic Advisers in the Biden administration and one of the nation’s most influential voices on economic policy. Heather discusses how the first priorities for President Biden have been containing the pandemic, addressing racial equity, and getting schools reopened. Emily also interviews Fatima Goss Graves, CEO of the National Women’s Law Center, about the hardships American families are facing during the pandemic, and how boosting the economy for everyone is critical to combating the multiple crises families are facing right now.
