New podcast and blog post with the link in the bio above! Both the Republican and Democratic parties had their state party convention last month. At their respective conventions, each party developed their party's platform for what their party stood for. We are focusing a few of our podcasts on certain issues we feel are important for the South Asian community to understand. This segment we focus on Education. Tune in to hear the highlights of each party's platform on Education and some of the differences between the two parties. With the midterm elections less than four months away, it is imperative for our community to begin Wising Up on their candidates! . . . #WiseUp #podcast #blogpost #politicalnews #politics #news #blogging #blog #voting #vote #america #atx #austin #potd #podcasting #election #desi #southasian #hindu #sikh #muslim #texas #txlege #dallas #houston #satx #education
Earlier this week we went to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders’s event #CEOsvsWorkers. We learned some interesting facts about the workforce of some companies. Such as: * A McDonald's employee who has worked with the company for 8 years does not receive ANY paid time off. * Many Walmart employees are unable to get 40 hours/week for work and are on Medicaid because they can’t afford the health insurance plans Walmart offers. * Many employees from Disneyland sleep in their cars because they cannot afford rent. * An employee from Amazon states they’d work 10 hour days in the warehouse without the ability to talk to anyone or even sit down. * An employee working for American Airlines for 10 years is a single mom that is on food stamps and all four of her kids are on Medicaid. * All panelists stated they do not want to ask from the government because taxpayers are subsidizing the costs. They just want fair wages to sufficiently support their families. *Check out our Facebook page for some videos we took! . . . #WiseUp #podcast #blogpost #politicalnews #politics #news #blogging #blog #voting #vote #america #atx #austin #potd #podcasting #election #desi #southasian #hindu #sikh #muslim #texas #txlege #workingclass
