1/22/21 - #FemFriday - w/ Umme Hoque + Daniela Lapidous, Emma Vigeland | The Nomiki Show

Democrats have the majority in the Senate, yet Mitch McConnell still has a lot of control. The reason for this: the filibuster. Also, Umme Hoque, organizing director for The Debt Collective, talks about her op-ed about debt. And later, The Majority Report's Emma Vigeland and progressive organizer Daniela Lapidous join our #FemFriday panel.
