In this episode of ‘Unfinished Business’, Central Dauphin School Board Member Eric Epstein and I will discuss when and how schools should reopen during the coronavirus pandemic, what returning to school might look like, and how some school districts are struggling to get virtual education right during the pandemic. Plus, will we finally find out what its like to not have football?!

Join us for another episode as we discuss the 30th Anniversary of the passage of the “Americans with Disabilities Act.” We will discuss the progress we’ve made, but where we still need to go, especially in the age of Covid-19.

Panel Guests: Josie Byzek, Executive Editor, New Mobility Magazine & Theo Braddy, President of Theo Braddy Consulting

After Donald Trump's victory in 2016, all eyes were on white voters. But as Black and Brown voters remain the bedrock of the Democratic coalition, all eyes are now on how they will turn out this year and how Trump and Joe Biden will fight for them. What is at stake in 2020 if Black and Hispanic voters do not go to the polls and the voting disenfranchisement of these communities continue. 

Panel Guests: Shamaine Daniels, Harrisburg City Council Member & Cornell Wilson, Former Lebanon City Council Member 

My personal tribute and why I admired Congressman John Lewis, whose activism brought him from the bloodied streets of Selma, Ala., where he fractured his skull in 1965 during an attempted voting rights march to the halls of Congress.

A discussion with panelists Brittany S. Smalls, Pennsylvania State Coordinator, Black Voters Matter Fund, and Jean Handley, Fair Districts PA, Dauphin County Coordinator on why its important to fill out the census this year, and how it relates to the redistricting next year here in Pennsylvania. Gerrymandering of districts often marginalizes votes and allowed Elected Officials to choose their voters rather than voters choose their Elected Officials!
