Will the financial reform plan that’s currently on the table prevent another economic crisis? On the next Your Call, we’ll continue our Agenda for a New Economy series by looking at financial reform. Will it fundamentally change the way Wall Street operates? Will it end bank bailouts? What laws do you think should be put in place to protect citizens? Is it even possible to get a good bill with Wall Street and Washington so closely aligned? It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar.

Help Truthout resist the new McCarthyism
The Trump administration is cracking down on political dissent. Under pressure from an array of McCarthy-style tactics, academics, activists and nonprofits face significant threats for speaking out or organizing in resistance.
Truthout is appealing for your support to weather this storm of censorship. We’ve launched a fundraising campaign to find 267 new monthly donors in the next 48 hours. Will you be one?
As independent media with no corporate backing or billionaire ownership, Truthout is uniquely able to push back against the right-wing narrative and expose the shocking extent of political repression under the new McCarthyism. We’re committed to doing this work, but we’re also deeply vulnerable to Trump’s attacks.
Your support during our fundraiser (48 hours left!) will help us continue our nonprofit movement journalism in the face of right-wing authoritarianism. Please make a tax-deductible donation today.
