Episode Synopsis

Harriotte Ranvig of Mass ADAPT speaks about the fight to get more funding for people to live independently.  Under COVID, our system of forcing people to live in nursing homes has been catastrophic. But even before the pandemic, ADAPT has fought to fund Personal Care Attendants so that disabled people can live dignified, productive lives.  Jordan Berg Powers, Jonathan Cohn, and Anna Callahan chat with Harriotte Ranvig about Massachusetts politics. This is the audio version of the Incorruptible Mass podcast, season 4 episode 22. The video version is available here. You’re listening to Incorruptible Massachusetts. Our goal is to help people understand state politics: we investigate why it’s so broken, imagine what we could have here in MA if we fixed it, and report on how you can get involved.
