Let’s talk about the crazy Senate rules that stand in the way of providing relief for working people. Raising the minimum wage is stimulus. It is a powerful tool to move money from the rich, and their companies, where it sits around in banks, to the poor, who need it and will spend it.
Later, Khara Jabola-Carolus joins to talk about what a feminist economic recovery plan looks like. And then, today’s panel, with Esperanza Fonseca and Julia Rock, looks at how the working class broadly, and women in specific, are suffering the most during this pandemic, and the importance of organizing on a grassroots level to force change.
