Under The Dome April 26 2024

Join Sarah Owsley, and Affordable Housing Policy Manager Vee Sanchez, as we candidly unpack a spectrum of issues - from housing and legal system reform to food security.

Our experts delve into the intricacies of SB 895, a harmful bill that may hinder the local municipal government's responsive measures during emergencies. The conversation broadens to include proposed amendments in the House, source of income discrimination and the related struggles of families seeking safe, affordable housing. We also explore the unique challenges of foster youth aging out of the system, domestic violence survivors, and veterans - groups often discriminated against based on their income source.

On the health front, we dissect the pressing issues around telehealth accessibility, particularly in rural areas. We advocate for audio-only telehealth as a game-changer in rural health. A sizable part of our discussion veers towards House Bill 2413, the 'Women's Health Omnibus Bill,' and other allied subjects such as vaccine distribution, doula services, suicide prevention training, birth control, and STI treatment.

Join us in this comprehensive discourse to garner insights on policy advancements and pressing issues in our community. Whether you're an aspiring policy influencer or a concerned citizen, this episode is a must-listen!
