Listen "Attacks on Public Schools, Health Care, Immigrants, Child Care & How Moms Are Fighting Back!"

Episode Synopsis

On the radio show this week we hear from teachers and parents about how they are fighting to protect the Department of Education and our students from Trump's threats, and how you can join the fight! Next, we discuss why Trump's cruel immigration policies are compounding the child care crisis by putting immigrant workers at risk, and a new report that provides real solutions for the industry and for Latina workers. Finally, we dive into the importance of your personal health care story when it comes to protecting Medicaid, which is currently on the chopping block to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.     SPECIAL GUESTS: Michelle Ringuette, American Federation of Teachers, @AFTunion, @aftunion.bsky.social, @ringuette.bsky.social; Beatriz Beckford, MomsRising, @MomsRising, @momsrising.org; Karla Castillo, National Women's Law Center, @nwlc, @nwlc.org; Jennifer Sullivan, Center on Budget & Policy Priorities, @CenterOnBudget, @centeronbudget.bsky.social
