On the radio show this week we dive into a snapshot of uplifting news between the headlines as we hear from a mom and small business owner who recently testified before Congress about how tariffs and trade wars hurt our families and our economy – and why childcare and a care infrastructure policies lift businesses and families alike. We also hear about a new campaign “Families Over Billionaires” and how you can get involved in making the tax code more fair. We then cover the rise of women’s engagement and activism in politics. Finally, we discuss the need for white allies to step up and dismantle white supremacy and fight for racial and economic justice.
