Breaking Through with Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner (Powered by MomsRising)
This show starts out hearing about flame retardants in your furniture and why you should be paying attention to this; then we jump into hearing about Representative Donna Edwards New Year's resolutions for action in the coming year in Congress. We follow her interview with an in depth look at the "War on Poverty."  It's been 50 years since President Johnson unequivocally declared a "War on Poverty," and we're going to find out what's happened -- and what still needs to happen now since nearly a quarter of young families today are living in poverty.

*Special guests include: Dr. Arlene Blum, Green Science Policy Institute; U.S. Representative Donna Edwards; Sharon Parrot, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities; Professor Peter Edalman, Georgetown University Law Center.
