Texas Latino Voters.
Trump’s now defunct voter fraud commission wanted to buy Texas election data flagging Hispanic last names. Also, Lupe Valdez, the sheriff of Dallas County, is campaigning to make history as the first Latina woman to be governor of Texas. And can the battle to stop SB 4 energize Latino voters to come out and turn Texas into a progressive state? These and other topics are discussed with a veteran political scholar and activist.
Guest: Professor José Angel Gutiérrez, Co-Founder, La Raza Unida Party, Professor Emeritus, University of Texas, Arlington, Brownsville, TX.
California Paid Family Leave. Two new laws increasing the number of workers and benefits covered under California’s Paid Family Leave program, the first of its kind in the nation, are going into effect this month. Now, California workers can get paid more when they take time off to care for ill family members, be with newborn children or miss work due to pregnancy, sickness or injury. A state official explains the new laws.
Guest: Alberto Larios, Spokesperson, EDD, Sacramento, CA.
