We start out with Congressman Jim McGovern on SNAP, foodstamps, why they're in jeopardy and what you can do about it. Then we move to Congresswoman Barbara Lee who shares the very latest on the current budget negotiations. Next up, dream hampton shares the tragic story of 19-year old Renisha McBride, who was shot in the face while seeking help recently. We close the show talking about the hope that people are feeling with the introduction of the FAMILY Act in Congress. Are we really, truly finally going to catch our public policies up with modern labor force realities? Listen and find out.
