This week's episode is a conversation with Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown.

Hourglass met with the attorney general on Friday, just moments after the US Supreme Court ruled against an injunction that prohibited the White House from limiting birthright citizenship in the U.S.

Earlier this year, Brown led a lawsuit challenging the White House executive order to limit birthright citizenship, and he’s been one of the nation’s attorneys general who have used the courts to preserve the rights of immigrants amid federal mass deportation efforts.

We chatted with Brown about the Supreme Court's decision, our nation’s anti-immigration climate, and other issues that are pillars of United Way’s work.

We will also discuss our free summer meals program for school-age children and a local volunteer opportunity.
