This special conversation features Danielle Atkinson, Michigan-based organizer and activist. Today we discuss Michigan's minimum wage battle in state congress as the split in the legislature has lead to a leaner answer for things like paid sick time. We talk about how the Dems failed to pass truly progressive legislation during their trifecta, and how moms can be the driving political force in the country. 

Danielle has been on the front lines dealing as the founder of Mothering Justice, a organization which focuses on getting parents involved in politics. She's also worked with numerous other orgs like ACORN, America Votes and Population Connection.
