Stand Up, Step Up

This show starts out hearing from 12 year old wonder, Madison Kimrey, whose speeches, articles, blog, and YouTube videos have taken the nation by storm as she clearly articulates why we all need to stand up and do something about the current state of politics in our nation. Then we hear from Lisa Maatz, super hero for fair pay to get the inside scoop, the real deal, and the truth about what the President's signing of the Executive Actions on equal pay will do in your community--and she's also going to share where we are on the path to equal pay, how far we've come and how far we have to go. Next up we explore the latest on the White House Working Families Summit, what are the top issues for people across the nation and who's saying what about our lives. Last, but far from least we hear the latest on the impact of the Affordable Care Act, access to affordable healthcare, consumer protections and what's next in your community healthcare access for all.
