Policing” is Prof. of Sociology and Coordinator of the Policing and
Social Justice Project at Brooklyn College and at the CUNY Graduate
Center and they’ll discuss the racist roots of American policing: from
slave patrols to traffic stops and how as a nation we must imagine a
different approach to public safety, beyond police reforms before

Is Biden Considering Privatizing Medicare - Say It Aint’ So Joe!

Stephanie Woolhandler a primary care physician and medical researcher
is a co-founder and board member of Physicians for a National Health
Program (“PNHP”) and Phil Verhoef PNHP’s new president who is an adult
and pediatric intensivist discuss the Biden administration expanding
Trump’s Medicare privatization scheme that is forcing hundreds of
thousands of seniors onto for-profit health plans, despite Medicare
Advantage plans having failed.  The cost of Medicare is doubling every
ten years because of the health care sector campaign contributions and
we’re seeing the disassembly and destruction of our precious public
health system. Every place where the profiteers have stepped in costs
have gone up and health outcomes have gone down.
