This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateThis year, Mother's Day, May 14th coincides with the formal end of the National Covid-19 Emergency. Since its enactment in March 2020, emergency spending expanded healthcare coverage to some 15 million people who will now be disenrolled, and increased food stamp benefits, and post-partum coverage in many states. Poor parents will be taking a hit — but Guaranteed Income could be the solution. The Magnolia Mothers Trust in Jackson, Mississippi is the first in the country to provide Guaranteed Income of $1000 monthly to low-income families headed by a Black woman living in affordable housing. Joining Laura for this Mother's Day special are Aisha Nyandoro who leads this program as the CEO of Springboard Opportunities, a nonprofit organization working with residents in affordable housing to help them reach their goals; Anquoindria Moore, a mother of three was a recipient of this cash relief from Magnolia Mothers and Dorian Warren, the Co-President of Community Change, that focuses on building the power of people most impacted by injustice. How does cash relief reduce poverty, and increase equity and security for families? All that, and a commentary from Laura on renewing, and renaming, the tax credit program.“Clearly it is not only about the cash. I had the opportunity to meet some very wonderful people. I was also able to socialize with different women who were also in the same shoes as me or similar . . . The women there are not getting involved and then leaving you stranded.” - Anquoindria Moore“When people have a little more breathing room, when they don't have to count every penny to pay bills . . . they actually have more time to get involved in our democracy and their communities and school board elections and town hall meetings . . . That is important for the promise of multiracial democracy in this country.” - Aisha Nyandoro“We know that if we trust women in particular and give them agency, they will always do the right thing for their kids . . . What we're up against is basically ideologues and zombie ideas who are ignoring the evidence and the stories about the participants in these kinds of programs.” - Dorian WarrenGuests:Anquoindria Moore: Recipient, Magnolia Mothers TrustDr. Aisha Nyandoro: CEO, Springboard To OpportunitiesDorian Warren: Co-President, Community Change Full Episode Notes are located HERE.

On Wednesday, Republicans won their 218th seat in the Congress, flipping control of the House of Representatives even with several races still uncalled. Then on Thursday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced her plans to step down as House Speaker after leading Democrats for two decades, though she will still remain in Congress as a Representative from California. House Republicans nominated current Minority leader Kevin McCarthy to become the new speaker, pending a vote on the House floor in January. President Joe Biden now has a clearer picture of the legislative landscape for the remaining two years of his first term. But before the 118th Congress takes its seats just after the New Year, there is still a narrow window for some legislative action by the 117th. The remainder of 2022 — this period between an election and the installment of successors is known as a lame-duck session — and this could be the last chance for Democrats to use their majority in both chambers of Congress to pass legislation. In fact, they've already started that work. On Wednesday, the Senate voted to advance a bipartisan same-sex marriage bill, which would protect marriage equality under federal law. Congress also just passed a federal cannabis bill designed to expand medical marijuana research to be signed into law.And lawmakers need to pass a budget to avoid a looming government shutdown by December 16th. So what else is on the agenda for this lame-duck session? Potential immigration reform, expansion of Child Tax Credits, and more. We spoke with Dorian Warren co-president of Community Change, co-chair of the Economic Security Project, and my co-host for Takeaway Deep Dives, and Bruna Sollad, Senior communications and Political Director of United We Dream, the largest non-profit immigrant youth-led community in the country fighting for immigration reform.

This week, continuing Off-Kilter's ongoing series of conversations about the limiting beliefs that we as a collective must release and replace to pave the way for economic liberation, Rebecca sat down with two dear friends and leaders within guaranteed income movement—Dorian Warren and Aisha Nyandoro—to continue the conversation we started last week about one of the most toxic limiting beliefs underpinning large-scale oppression in the United States today: the notion that a human being's worth comes from their work.

In the mid-1950s, nearly 3 in 10 employed workers belonged to a union. Now that figure is down to about 10 percent—or just 6 percent in the private sector alone. But labor organizing and pro-worker policymaking are on the rise. At more than 200 Starbucks outlets, an Amazon warehouse, and even an Apple store, workers are banding together to ask for higher wages, better benefits, and more control over their schedules and workplace conditions. Dorian Warren has been a leader in those efforts. Dorian is a labor scholar and organizer, and the co-president of Community Change, a national organization that builds the power of low-income people—especially low-income people of color. “This is actually an exciting time for the labor movement,” he tells Felicia and Michael. “There is something really going on across the spectrum in terms of one's class background, racial and gender background.” Dorian talks about the diversity of those pushing for unionization in modern America, the importance of federal leadership when it comes to labor rights, and what's really at stake: “No labor movement means no strong democracy. No labor movement means no middle class.” Presented by the Roosevelt Institute, The New Republic, and PRX.

Two years ago in the summer of 2020, the largest racial justice demonstrations in history swept across the globe after Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, murdered George Floyd. In the aftermath, it seemed that Americans were reckoning with whether or not the police are a necessary entity in maintaining public safety, but the issue of police abolition remains contentious for many. In March of this year, President Biden earned a bi-partisan standing ovation for saying: We should all agree, the answer's not to defund the police. It's to fund the police. Fund them. In late August, the President traveled to Pennsylvania, where he gave a speech on crime and offered specifics of his Safer America Plan. The plan includes $13 billion dollars to hire 100,000 officers over the next five years and grants to states and cities to recruit, train, and support police in “effective, accountable community policing.” Hiring more police and sending more policing dollars to states and localities is certainly reminiscent of the 1994 Crime Bill which Biden championed during his Senate years. According to FactCheck.org®, a Project of The Annenberg Public Policy Center at University of Pennsylvania, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported in 2005 that the 1994 crime bill added an additional 88,000 police officers and only contributed to a "modest" drop in crime. The GAO reported that from 1993 to 2000, funds apportioned to hire more police in the crime bill contributed to a "1.3 percent decrease in overall crime" and a "2.5 percent decrease in violent crime rates" from 1993. The report also found that factors other than funds to increase the number of police were much more significant to lower crime rates. Increased employment, better policing methods, an aging of the population, growth in income and inflation are just a few factors the report offers. With the news of Biden's recent announcement, Deep Dive cohosts Melissa Harris-Perry and Dorian Warren take a look into the proposal to abolish American police, working together to build a syllabus for their exploration of the issue as "students of abolition." Guests: Judith Browne Dianis, Executive Director of the Advancement Project National Office Professor Treva B. Lindsey, author of "America, Goddam: Violence, Black Women and the Struggle for Justice" Andrea Ritchie, co-founder of Interrupting Criminalization, author of “Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color” and “No More Police: A Case for Abolition with Mariame Kaba" Chuck Wexler, Executive Director of the Police Executive Research Forum offers a defense of police Philip Atiba Goff, co-founder and CEO of the Center for Policing Equity and a Professor of African-American Studies and Psychology at Yale University

After the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the 1965 Voting Rights Act and even Loving v. Virginia, one major issue around the racial justice movement remained unaddressed: fair housing. On April 11, 1968 President Lyndon Johnson signed the National Fair Housing Act into law. Because of this, April is National Fair Housing Month. All month, advocates, organizers, and communities commemorate this landmark piece of Civil Rights legislation which outlawed discrimination in housing. On this episode of The Takeaway, Melissa Harris-Perry and Dorian Warren take a Deep Dive into the history and current state of fair housing in America, 54 years after the passage of the National Fair Housing Act. Guests: Lisa Rice, President and CEO of the National Fair Housing Alliance Jim McCarthy, President/CEO of Miami Valley Fair Housing Center Michael Allen, Attorney and Partner at Relman Colfax Ava Deakin, lead plaintiff in Deakin v. Old Town Triangle Association Senator Tim Kaine from Virginia

And we have 140 million people who are poor or one health care crisis, one job loss, one storm, one tornado away from economic ruin.” - Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Co-Chair of the Poor People's Campaign Even before the excruciating weight of the COVID-19 pandemic, poverty rates rose for the first time in five years. In 2020, there were 3.3 million more people living in poverty than in 2019. Poverty rates rose among white and Hispanic Americans, and for the 1 in 5 Black Americans already living in poverty, there wasn't much room for the rate to go up. All were poorer in 2020 than the year before. A package of pandemic-era policies stemmed rising poverty in 2021; however, many of those temporary measures have expired as consumer prices continue to rise, leaving many American families and workers economically vulnerable. According to the Center on Poverty and Social Policy at Columbia University, the monthly child poverty rate increased from 12.1 percent in December 2021 to 17 percent in January 2022, the highest it's been since the end of 2020. Black and Latinx children experienced the largest increases in poverty rates. This 4.9 percent increase accounts for the nearly 3.7 million more children living in poverty after the Child Tax Credit ended. The monthly Child Tax Credit payments "buffered family finances amidst the continuing pandemic, increased families' abilities to meet their basic needs, reduced child poverty and food insufficiency, and had no discernable negative effects on parental employment." "I think one of the core themes of my work–across multiple sectors and fields–has been a focus on poverty. And the fact that poverty is not an ordained or natural system or condition, but a system of policy choices," says Dorian Warren, co-host of our Deep Dives, co-president of Community Change, and co-chair of the Economic Security Project. The experience of poverty is even more widespread than the official definition tells us. Yet, the perception of poverty remains contentious for many Americans. Research shows that Americans overwhelmingly identify themselves as 'middle-class,' even when they're not. Groups like Confronting Poverty have developed tools like the poverty risk calculator to help people better understand economic hardship and risk. Awareness is just one facet of the ongoing fight against poverty. The anti-poverty and low wage workers movement is leading “a national call for moral revival.” On June 18, 2022 the Poor People's Campaign led a mass demonstration in Washington, D.C. Thousands of people from all over the country attended. Ahead of the march, we spoke with the Poor People's Campaign co-chairs Bishop William Barber and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Director of Kairos Center for Religions, Rights and Social Justice at Union Theological Seminary. Dorian was there as well, both as an organizer and observer, covering the march for The Takeaway. In this Deep Dive, Dorian joins The Takeaway in critical conversation around today's anti-poverty and labor movement and the voices defining what economic, racial, and social justice can and should look like.

Being unemployed in the United States is bad for you. It's bad for your mental, physical and emotional health. Bad for your family stability. Bad for your ability to survive. It's just bad news, period. The research shows that 83 percent of laid-off workers develop a serious stress-related condition. And as we look at the future of work, that's a problem for the American economy. Because one of the big questions about the American workplace is:What if, in the a future, we actually have less work … and more unemployment? Guests Kiarica Shields, hospice nurse in Georgia who lost her job early in the pandemic, and eventually lost her home and her car. Her unemployment insurance stopped inexplicably, and after she her appeal, she was told she was ineligible for coverage because she worked a single day on another job.

What’s In It For Us, theGrio’s weekly political podcast hosted by Christina Greer, PhD., welcomes special guest, Organizer, Scholar and President of Community Change, Dorian Warren. In today’s episode, Dr. Greer and Dorian Warren look back at the legacy and mourn the loss of hip-hop pioneer Shock G, and break down his cultural impact as well as the social and political implications of the alarming trend of Black men dying far too young. Plus, we’re just days away from one of the first major Biden Administration milestones—President Biden’s first 100 days in office. He’s laid out some pretty promising policy, including legislation that could slash child poverty in half, but what does implementing such big plans look like in action and not just on paper? Keeping it political, Caitlyn Jenner has announced plans to run for Governor of California, but given the history of the “Celebrity Candidate,” there’s skepticism of her qualifications and growing concerns around her hiring former members of the Trump team to lead her gubernatorial efforts. With so much going on, we have to stop and take a moment to ask, “What’s In It For Us?”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
