Episode 12: It's A Party In The DSA and Fork You Cuomo Left of Dial

The eviction moratorium has been extended, but for only two months. We talk about the assistance that Americans need with rent and housing. Information and resources/assistance are posted below for those who are in need. Information/websites vary on your location.

COVID cases are increasing because of the Delta variant especially among children in states such as Tennessee, Louisiana and Florida, but the White House says they have no plans to lock down or "stop the economy" which is a cause for concern for parents.

Ben just paid his dues for DSA and is ready to officially join and Allan talks about the DSA Conference 2021 that just happened and a hysterical moment that happened.

And finally Left of Dial gives a "fork you" to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo with an updated edit of him stepping down.
