On the radio show this week, we dive into the need for the US Senate to place much-needed accountability measures on ICE with their expanded DHS funding. We also cover why the Save Act would undermine the rights of married women voters; and how to protect voting rights in this era of voter suppression. Next, we celebrate two major moments of joy: New York's huge child care win and Bad Bunny's incredible Super Bowl halftime show. Then, we cover how the pressure campaign stop the lawless and out-of-control ICE surge in Minnesota is prevailing; as well as the importance of protecting sensitive locations, such as schools, healthcare, and child care centers. Finally, we discuss the importance of women running for office to shape the future for the next generation — and how turning out women voters, and supporting women candidates, to make that happen is both powerful and critical.

We’re planning some fun, joyful action outside the Washington State Capitol Building in the name of protecting child care and early learning from unfair budget cuts – and we hope you can join us! Wednesday, February 18th at 12pm - 1:30pm

On the radio show this week we dive into the negative impact of ICE's presence on Minnesota students and their ability to show up to learn. Then we hear about the No Kid Hungry campaign, the importance of SNAP for 14 million food-insecure children, and the need to protect it from funding cuts. We also cover the effectiveness and safety of vaccines, including the HPV vaccine. In closing we discuss the power and importance of storytelling in advocating for health care and disability rights.
