About this listen

On the radio show this week we dive into cuts to special education, hearing directly from an educator about how these cuts impact students. We hear about Latina Equal Pay Day and the policies that would help close the wage gap, including paid family & medical leave, funding for child care, and fair pay. We cover the national impact of Virginia's upcoming elections and what it could mean for the 2026 midterms. Finally, we discuss what's happening in Chicago.


SPECIAL GUESTS: Laura MacCleery, UnidosUs, @weareunidosus; Hala Ayala, @HalaAyala, @Halaayala.bsky.social; Senator Graciela Guzmán, Illinois State Senator, @graciela4senate, @senatorguzman.bsky.social; Amy Harrison, National Educators Association, @NEAToday, @neatoday.bsky.social
