The Capitol Insurrection, Affordable Housing, & Food Security with Emerita Torres, State Committee-85 AD

Before we dive into the pertinent topics of affordable housing and food security, we had to weigh in on the insane week we've had after the insurrection on our nation's capitol. We break down what happened on that grim day, call out Republican hypocrisy and petty B.S., and explain what has been happening since with the unprecedented calls for impeachment, expulsions, and the 25th amendment. But we digress because we love a good stupid question, and let us tell you our guest Emerita Torres, State Committee-85 AD had to field quite a few from us. We covered what a State Committee is - different from a legislative committee BTW, how it works, and what it does. Then, we sat there in awe. After we got it together, we talked through even more important topics like affordable housing and food security. We learned a lot and can’t wait for you all to learn more too.
