Friday Politics Roundup | UAW’s historic strike; SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike continues; childhood poverty doubles; SPLC report on Pennridge; APSCUF contract; Bucks County Beacon fall member drive

This week I welcome Cyril Mychalejko and Emily Smith to the show. Cyril is the Editor-in-Chief of the Bucks County Beacon and Emily is the Beacon’s Publisher. We’ll be talking about the role of independent, community-based media in deepening local democracy and organizing against the rise of extremism in our schools and communities. We’ll also be talking about their goals for their fall fund drive and plans for expanding the Beacon’s work in the months and years to come.   If we want a progressive future, we need progressive media.
