About this listen
A new vaccine schedule, ICE's shifting policies, and local elections in Texas.
In this episode of Growing Up in America: The Way it Is, our hosts Dr. Bob Sanborn, President and CEO of CHILDREN AT RISK, and Brian Greene, President and CEO of the Houston Food Bank, discuss the rapid evolution of public policy and what it means for civic engagement.
Dr. Michael Chang, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Pediatric Infectious Diseases at McGovern Medical School, examines current vaccination recommendations and how decreased vaccination rates are leading to higher rates of infectious disease. Krystal Gomez, Managing Attorney at the Texas Immigration Law Council, addresses the implications of changing immigration enforcement practices for children and families. And former Houston Mayor Annise Parker, now a candidate for Harris County Judge, reflects on the policy issues shaping the future of the county.
