Voting Progressive Yet Still Oppressing: A discussion on the work that needs to be done.
"So pot is legal, but some mothers can not get driver cards to take their kids to school?"
The recent elections in Oregon revealed that there is much work to be done before Oregon can boast that it is a progressive state. In a recent blog Adam Phillips wrote "Our version of progressivism is truly weird: many of us in favor of left-leaning consumerism but forgetting that a truly progressive vision includes everyone in the fight for the common good." Libertarian or libertine might be a more appropriate label to put on Oregon.
Join Celeste Carey and Cecil Prescod in a discussion about Oregon's about why the state is not as progressive as some may think, and the work that needs to be done.  Share your perspectives and solutions: 503-231-8187, moretalkradio@gmail.com
