Your Call: It's Election Day! How are you reflecting?

On the November 8th edition of  Your Call, it’s Election Day! We’ll have a conversation about the 2016 presidential race.

The race for the White House has been defined by Donald Trump’s racist, misogynist, and hateful remarks about Mexicans, immigrants, and women. What does the 2016 election reveal about the state of our country and the media? What message are you sending with your vote? Join us live at 10am on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you. 

Guests:

Eileen Truax, journalist, and author of Dreamers: An Immigrant Generation’s Fight for their American Dream

Sasha Abramsky,  freelance journalist, founder of the Voices of Poverty, and author of  The House of Twenty Thousand Books
