Domestic abuse victims often need urgent treatment for health problems resulting from physical and emotional assault. In many cases, they must find shelter in another town, county or state. How does the U.S. health insurance system respond to their needs? What about county-specific safety-net programs? Michele Hamilton, counselor and board member of Health Care 4 All-PA, joins host Brenda Gazzar to discuss why Americans need health insurance that is not tied to their jobs, their parents or their abuser.

Another day in the United States of Serfs and Lords.

Republicons are meeting at their annual freak show, C-PAC. Know them by their antics and lies - the GOP is the greatest threat to American democracy we've faced. It's about time Dems act like it.

We discuss the madness.

STEVEN GREENHOUSE covered labor for the New York Times for 19 years. American unions played a key role in created the greatest middle class the world had ever seen. Given how clearly they improved the lives of hundreds of millions of laborers, why did workers allow corporations and government to weaken and shrink those unions? What can we do about it? Can our shared vulnerability to the pandemic and its destruction of the economy help us recreate the post-war experience of shared prosperity? We talk about greenhouse’s latest book, Beaten Down Worked Up: The Past Present and Future of American Labor.

On the #radio show this week we cover upcoming investments in building our nation’s infrastructure, including childcare, and how you can most effectively make your voice heard by leaders at the very top; next up we cover the importance of speaking out against the over 1000% increase in hate crimes against people in the Asian American Pacific Islander community; after that we cover the importance of reducing gun violence by increasing community safety and advancing justice; and we close the show giving a political power pep talk, along with advocacy advice to help advance real change.

*Special guests include: Nina Perez, MomsRising, @MomsRising; Miriam Yeung, author and advocate, @miriamyeung; Greg Jackson, Community Justice Action Fund, @cjactionfund; Reggie Hubbard, MoveOn, @MoveOn

Background Briefing 02-25-2021 by Progressive Voices

Moe begins today's show with his 'Moe-ment of Truth," which this week is about the Republican hypocrisy surrounding the cost of President Biden's proposed $1.9 trillion dollar COVID stimulus bill.  As a reminder, these same Republicans had no such concerns when it came to the Trump tax cuts for the wealthy that were passed back in 2017.

For the remainder of the show, Moe is joined by Luis C. de Baca, Ambassador-at-Large to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (Ret.).   The two discuss human trafficking, police brutality, white supremacists, and more.  Ambassador de Baca's Twitter handle is @AmbCdeBaca.

Moe's show can be heard live every Thursday from 3-4pm ET at www.spreaker.com/intheknowwithmoe.
