Reality Check: Women & Public Policies in America

The show starts out diving into why 166 other countries have a guaranteed minimum number of paid sick days, but the US isn't one of them.  In fact, 80% of low wage workers don't have access to a single paid sick day here in the U.S. Next up, we hear about the federal budget from the director of an organization that was just nominated for the Nobel Peace Price.  Find and how it can (and will) impact you in your life. Then we move to hearing about the women across the nation who are fasting for immigration policy reform -- and hear why one women is stepping up to run for office. Last but not least, hear directly from the directors of the new film "Paycheck to Paycheck."
