Our guest is Chuck Collins, a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies.
    The movement for a universal guaranteed income grows. What has been the history of this demand? Where do basic income programs stand now? How is California leading the way? How is the Cash for People movement organizing itself? We speak with John Ma of Ground Game LA.

  • Sojourner Truth Radio: September 14, 2021 - California Election, Child Tax Credit, Black Farmers
    Today on Sojourner Truth:
    Election Day in California. Voters will decide whether to keep Democrat Gavin Newsom in office, or go with Trumpster Larry Elder as Governor. What's at stake for California, as well as the nation? Our guest is Dr. Gerald Horne, Moores Professor of History & African-American Studies at the University of Houston, has written more than 30 books.
    A critical vote is coming up on the child tax credit payments, which have gone out to 39 million families. Will the House vote to extend the credit or allow it to stop at the end of this year? Meanwhile, Republicans are pressing for a mandated work requirement in order to receive the tax credit, dismissing the important and essential work of mothers and other caregivers. To give us the latest, we speak with Anna Aurilio, the Federal Campaign Director of Economic Security Project Action.
    Also, we continue our coverage of the struggle of Black farmers across the United States. We speak with Lorette Picciano, the Executive Director of The Rural Coalition.
