Description:

Maria and Julio break down the pandemic, specifically the white male leadership that has dominated news cycles. They also talk about the tug-of-war between state governors and the Trump administration on when states will reopen. Finally, this week saw a cascade of high-profile endorsements for the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, including from former competitors Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. 


As schools shut and services become difficult to access, this is an especially tough time for our LGBTQ youth of color. If you’re a part of this community, and have been struggling with the idea of home or finding a safe place to shelter, we would love to hear from you. Call us to leave a voicemail on the In The Thick hotline at (505) 226-8973 or send us a voice memo via email to inthethick@futuromediagroup.org.
