Veterans for Peace from the oppression of governors to the celebration of the end of oppression in the name of Juneteenth

We have two topics today. First Nick Godell of Stop the Shut Offs Committee discusses how the Tennessee Governor and other governors are ending their pandemic related bans on shutting off utilities and ending unemployment benefits to force people to take minimum wage jobs even though data shows that punishing people will not get them back to work but that a living wage will. Then we hear a talk given by Dr. Shennette Garrett Scott on the history and Celebration of Juneteenth, which is June 19th and hopefully is on its way to becoming a national holiday.
