Listen to the last episode:
We’ll look at two ballot measures that won: Prop A will increase the Missouri minimum wage to $15 and mandate paid sick leave for most workers and Amendment 3 removes Missouri’s almost total ban on abortion. We’ll talk to the chief strategists of both campaigns Rachel Sweet and Richard Von Glahn, and ask what lessons we can learn from the vote. Then, libraries and librarians are fighting book bans, and the Right to Read Coalition is ready to help! Find out who they are. Our feature is Know Your Rights with Michael Amash.
