Sine Done Died w/Tamarra Wieder, Planned Parenthood #ColonelsOfTruth Progress Kentucky: Colonels of Truth!

Nate and Doug dig in on the details of the final days of the GA. We won some (we did!), we lost some (obv), and we held our ground on some. w/Sine Die in the rear view mirror we check in on how much damage was done to on critical issues such as criminalizing homelessness and ballooning prison populations in a state that ALREADY locks up a higher percentage of our population than any democratic nation on earth - we then check in with returning guest, friend of the show, Tamarra Wieder, Kentucky State Director with Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates -  hear her update on how the session weighed in on reproductive freedom and abortion rights -  then we close with our call to action.

CALL TO ACTION:
URGE THE GOVERNOR TO VETO SB 191… from League of Women Voters of KY ACTION ALERT: Ask Governor Beshear to VETO SB 191 https://bit.ly/3UnFomL

SB 191 on postsecondary incentive funding was amended and passed on the very last day of the session. The amended language now says results for students from underrepresented minority groups cannot be considered when those dollars are distributed to Kentucky’s public universities and community and technical colleges.
SB 191 was a constructive bill until this amendment was added, but the amendment process happened far too late and far too fast to allow public input. The resulting bill weakens higher education’s efforts to ensure that students of all backgrounds are fully welcomed and empowered in public higher education.
