The M&T Podcast

In this episode, Sara Dady, a highly qualified immigration attorney, explains individuals’ rights when interacting with ICE, local law enforcement, and immigration courts. This session was recorded at St. John’s United Church of Christ in Belvidere, Illinois.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into three explosive stories shaking the nation: ➡️ A second U.S. appeals court slaps down Trump’s unconstitutional attempt to gut birthright citizenship. ➡️ Chicago residents describe ICE agents firing tear gas near a school — yes, a school — on a busy Northwest Side street. ➡️ And now Trump wants to deploy 300 Illinois National Guard troops? Governor Pritzker isn’t having it. We’ll also break down Section 1 of the 14th Amendment — the very foundation of what it means to be an American citizen. 🎙️ Tune in, listen closely, and subscribe. Follow me for more unfiltered truth and unapologetic passion — because silence is never an option when democracy is on the line.

In this episode of the podcast, we explore three significant topics: the recent overturning of abortion rights in Georgia, President Joe Biden's strengthened stance on the border asylum ban, and the latest controversy surrounding Trump Watches, which are reportedly valued at $100,000.

Candi Miller-In the wake of Georgia's restrictive abortion laws, Candi Miller faced an unimaginable dilemma that ultimately cost her life. Afraid to seek necessary medical care, she chose to stay home rather than risk legal repercussions. This heartbreaking story highlights the dire consequences of legislative decisions on women's health and underscores the urgent need for accessible, safe medical care. Candi's tragedy serves as a somber reminder of the stakes involved when healthcare becomes a battleground for political ideologies.

Suicidal thoughts, much like mental health conditions, can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or background. Suicidal thoughts, although common, should not be considered normal and often indicate more serious issues.   September is Suicide Prevention Month — a time to raise awareness of this urgently important crisis.

This podcast will talk about the idiocracy of Trump and go over some of the economic policies VP Harris has

https://momsdemandaction.org/marie-g-delus-history-will-remember-us-moms-our-legacies-are-being-written/ Nearly 10 years since joining Moms Demand Action, Marie G. Delus continues advocating for gun violence prevention to save lives.

https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/arms-control/gun-violence/#:~:text=Community%2Dwide%20gun%20violence%20may,caused%20by%20suicide%20and%20accidents. Overview: Gun violence is a daily scourge that threatens our most fundamental right: the right to life. More than 600 people die every day as a result of firearms violence, which is driven in part by easy access to firearms – whether legal or illegal. Anyone can be affected by gun violence, but it often disproportionately impacts people of colour, men and boys in deprived communities, and other marginalized groups. Domestic violence involving firearms also puts women at heightened risk of death or life-changing injuries. Sometimes, the mere presence of firearms can make people feel threatened and fearful for their lives. They may be too afraid to attend schools or health facilities. Community-wide gun violence may prevent services from fully functioning, which can harm access to education or healthcare. The vast majority of gun violence occurs outside of armed conflict settings. A significant proportion – in some states more than half – of firearm deaths are caused by suicide and accidents. Our human rights are not protected if our leaders fail to tackle and end the epidemic of gun violence and gun deaths.

Six years ago today at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, 17 students and school staff were shot and killed, and 17 more were wounded. And yesterday marks one year since the deadly mass shooting at Michigan State University, where three students were shot and killed and five others wounded. And today in Atlanta, four students were shot and wounded after school in the parking lot. And just hours ago, another community was terrorized by gun violence: At the Super Bowl Championship parade in Kansas City, where at least one person was killed and many wounded.

16 years later, five students who tragically lost their lives in a shooting on NIU's campus are remembered. The university's "Forward, Together, Forward" scholarship will continue their legacy and keep their memories alive.
