Let's Talk - Ep #38 Charles Booker on the Power of Progressive Politics
As we inch toward the general election in November, progressive politicians across the country have been fighting to address inequities that have been exacerbated by the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and incidents of police brutality.
