Breaking Through with Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner (Powered by MomsRising)
This show starts by covering how to break the cradle to prison pipeline in a country, our country, with one of the highest incarceration rates in the world. Our next segment how people across the country are fighting back against pregnancy discrimination.  Hear the story of one mom-to-be, a police officer, who after her gun belt wouldn't fit anymore was denied light duty and put on unpaid leave.  And hear how she's fighting back.  Then in the next interview we're tackling the NFL and getting the inside scoop on a meeting that just happened with NFL executives. Last but far from least, we hear from Latifa Lyles of the U.S. Department of Labor about their new campaign, It's time for America to #Lead on Leave
