America Are We Ready for the First 100 Days?: Infrastructure

WNYC News | Apr 7, 2021

Airing LIVE Thursday, April 8th, 8-9pm ET.

Join the national conversation with host Brian Lehrer as the Biden/Harris administration starts its work. 

This week: With his 2-trillion-dollar infrastructure proposal, is President Biden aiming to be this generation’s FDR or LBJ -- using government to tackle systemic poverty, inequality, and environmental threat?  Join the conversation on the plan which goes well beyond bridges, roads and tunnels.

First, Clarence Anthony , CEO and executive director of the National League of Cities (NLC), digs in on the infrastructure needs of cities; 

Then, Jess Morales Rocketto, the civic engagement director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance and the executive director of Care in Action, talks about the "care infrastructure" components of the plan.

Join the conversation at 844-745-TALK (8255)!
