À propos de ce contenu audio

In this episode of Good News for Lefties, host Wendy King brings you a series of impactful stories that highlight progress and community resilience.
1. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has signed a groundbreaking bill to expand family leave benefits, now allowing employees at companies with as few as 15 workers to take job-protected paid leave. This significant change aims to support families and ensure that more parents can bond with their newborns without fearing job loss.
2. In Minneapolis, hundreds of anti-ICE protesters successfully pushed back against a small group of far-right activists, showcasing the power of community solidarity in the face of intimidation. The protests were sparked by recent tragic events involving ICE, emphasizing the urgent need for immigrant rights and protection.
3. Wendy also celebrates the U.S. House of Representatives' decision to continue funding the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, reversing previous attempts to eliminate these vital cultural agencies. This move reflects a commitment to supporting the arts and humanities in America.
4. In a notable incident in St. Paul, Minnesota, federal law enforcement agents were forced to leave a local restaurant after diners confronted them, demonstrating the growing resistance against aggressive immigration enforcement.
5. In another good news story - the host of Jeopardy! - Ken Jennings is speaking out on social media promising to vote for any 2028 presidential candidate who vows to “prosecute” members of the Trump “regime” in the next administration.
6. Finally, we share a story about Bucks County Pennsylvania Sheriff Danny Ceisler's decision to end a formal partnership with ICE, fulfilling a campaign promise and prioritizing community safety over federal immigration enforcement.
Join us as we explore these inspiring stories that highlight the importance of advocacy, community action, and progressive change!
