Vaya Con Muñoz 5.1.21
This week on Vaya con Munoz, Natalia is joined by our regular panelists, Tanisha Arena, Matt Szafranski, Kate Albright-Hanna, Dan Torres, and Nathaniel Waring. We discuss President Biden’s first speach before a joint session of congress, and what having Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris standing behind Joe Biden means for a country with a long tradition of white supramacy; How campaign finance is a broken system that needs to be updated to take the financial burdon off of the poor and middle class, without sacrificing civic participation; how there will always be members of any given racial or ethnic group that espouse ideas that are contrary to the interstest of their group, and how that shouldn’t be given more credence than the thousands of minority voices speaking on their own behalf; how identity politics plays out in America, and here in Western Massachusetts; what the CDC changing their mask requirements for outdoors means to us all, and what we look forward to (or not) about going back to “normal”, and what that might look like; Natalia’s cancer and the copays she had to pay for her treatment, and how heathcare company CEO pay plays into the need for single payer health care; How words matter, and Biden speaking to White Supremacy being terrorism and calling the Armenian genocide as such was a huge moment for our country; And return once more to speaking about police reform, and why ending qualified immunity is such an impotant part of that process.
