First hour: What protections should there be for workers during the coronavirus outbreak?

Second hour: Discussing Elizabeth Warren's exit from the presidential race

The coronavirus is already putting workers at risk – of infection, but also of losing their paychecks and their livelihoods. Some workers can stay home and do their jobs. Many can not. What protections are there for workers? What protections should there be? Our guests discuss it:

  • Mike Durand, co-founder of Duet Studio
  • Jon Itkin, strategy director at Article Group
  • Nick Coulter, co-founder of Person Centered Housing Options
  • Jacquie Billings, owner of The Hole in the Wall restaurant and Ration Wine Bar in Perry, NY

Then in our second hour, Senator Elizabeth Warren’s loss in the presidential primary stings for many voters who have long hoped to see a woman in the White House. There has been heated debate about sexism and misogyny in the campaign, and in the results. Our guests discuss their reaction to another woman’s exit from the race.

  • Jen Lunsford, attorney with Segar & Sciortino, and current candidate for the 135th Assembly District
  • Tianna Mañón, political analyst and media specialist
  • Laurel Elder, professor of political science, co-chair of the Department of Sociology, and coordinator of legal studies at Hartwick College
