First hour: Local town supervisors react to President Trump's comments about low-income housing in the suburbs
Second hour: Discussing Black Women's Equal Pay Day 2020
President Trump said this week that he wanted to send a message to “suburban housewives.” The President says he will protect suburbanites against crime and falling property values, and his plan to do that is to keep low-income housing out of the suburbs. The President says Americans spend their entire lives working their way up to a life in the suburbs, and it shouldn’t be disturbed by low-income housing. We’ve invited many local supervisors in the Rochester suburbs to join us. Here’s who accepted our invitations:
- Dave Seeley, supervisor of the Town of Irondequoit
- Steve Schultz, supervisor of the Town of Henrietta
- Bill Moehle, supervisor of the Town of Brighton
We mark the annual Black Women’s Equal Pay Day with a conversation about how to make change. Our guests are organizing local events and aim to – in the spirit of their 2020 theme – “sound the alarm,” while hosting a virtual awareness campaign. Our guests:
- Yversha Roman, co-founder of the Rochester Pay Equity Coalition, and Monroe County Legislator
- Ernesta Walker, member of the Rochester Pay Equity Coalition and the Education Committee of Citizen Action Rochester
- Candice Lucas, Ph.D., chief community engagement officer for Monroe County
