    President of the National Urban League Marc Morial on the Three Major Crises Impacting Black America Right Now Aug 26, 2020
    Show notes

    Marc Morial, President of the National Urban League, says the phenomenon of today in Black America is the working poor: great jobs, prestigious degrees, but salaries that haven't kept up with inflation and therefore keeps Black people earning an average of $30,000 dollars less than white families per year. And that's just one piece of the pie, as we're facing a health crisis that is spurring on an economic crisis, and simultaneously is the racial justice crisis. Ahead of this Saturday's March on Washington, Marc explains how "we have an opportunity to stand on [Martin Luther King's] shoulders."

    Millennials Aren't Lazy, They're Stuck with a Mess They Didn't Make says Jill Filipovic in New Book "Ok Boomer, Let's Talk: How My Generation Got Left Behind" Aug 24, 2020
    Show notes

    There's a lot of criticism and theories on millennials -- entitled, wasteful, lazy...but Jill Filipovic is subverting these assumptions in her new book "Ok Boomer, Let's Talk: How My Generation Got Left Behind." The millennial generation is living on the edge of poverty not because of avocado toast, but because of a country with a faulty structure of poor policies, created largely by the Baby Boomer generation -- and millennials are taking the hit for it. But as Jill discusses in today's episode, millennials are handing back the inequalities they've been served.

    The NRA Exploits Your Fears and Then Uses Your Money to Pay For Very Fancy, Very Illegal Vacations, with Igor Volsky of Guns Down America Aug 14, 2020
    Show notes

    Until recently, Igor Volsky, Executive Director of Guns Down America, considered himself an expert on the level of corruption happening inside the NRA; but when he read the details of New York Attorney General Tish James' lawsuit against the organization, he admits to being completely floored -- he had no idea it ran this deep. In today's episode you'll hear all the ways that Wayne LaPierre got reimbursed with NRA funds, also known as the money made off members, for all sorts of egregious behavior. And in doing so, they're breaking the laws of the IRS, and the IRS doesn't like it when they don't get their share of the money. All this, PLUS Igor talks about what a Biden/Harris presidential team can mean for gun reform & some information on the recent spike in gun violence in certain cities.
