“The Laura Flanders Show” is in Los Angeles talking about women and work. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas speaks about her work with the Black Workers Center, and we visit with domestic workers who marched to Washington to meet with the pope. All that and a few words from Laura on the surprisingly low cost emergency that can throw almost half of all Americans into a crisis.

Press freedom is under attack

As Trump cracks down on political speech, independent media is increasingly necessary.

Truthout produces reporting you won’t see in the mainstream: journalism from the frontlines of global conflict, interviews with grassroots movement leaders, high-quality legal analysis and more.
