About this episode
From gun safety reform and protecting students and teachers in the classroom to women’s reproductive rights, public health care, and the environment, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten speaks truth to power. She doesn't pull punches and isn't afraid to say what needs to be said on these and other important topics. On this episode of The Voice, Randi offers some pointed opinions as she shares her thoughts with host--and UUP President--Fred Kowal on the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling that struck down Roe v. Wade and nullified the constitutional right that provided access to a safe abortion in the U.S. She also discusses gun violence and the need for more gun safety laws; President Joe Biden's low poll numbers; the impact of recent decisions by the Supreme Court; and the absolute necessity for listeners to vote in the upcoming 2022 midterm elections.
