Call Your Senator With Sen. Gillibrand; Immigrant Communities and School Reopenings; Montefiore's CEO; Daycare Center's Financial Struggles - a podcast by WNYC

Coming up on today's show: 

U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) talks about her recent visits to local food pantries, plus the latest on the federal relief bills.






Garry Pierre-Pierre, journalist with The Haitian Times, Xiaoqing Rong, reporter with Sing Tao Daily, and Debralee Santos, editor of The Manhattan Times and The Bronx Free Press, discuss how the reopening plans are being received in some of NYC's immigrant communities.






Phillip Ozuah, M.D., PhD, president and CEO of Montefiore Medicine, talks about Montefiore's experience facing the COVID-19 outbreak as the largest hospital in the hard-hit Bronx, and his own experience as the only Black CEO of a hospital system in NYC.






Anna Sale, host of the WNYC Studios podcast Death, Sex & Money, and Christina Veiga, Chalkbeat New York reporter, talk about how daycares and pre-schools are struggling to stay afloat financially as the coronavirus pandemic has forced them to cut enrollment, increase their costs on safety protocols and in some cases, shut down temporarily when cases spike -- and what that means for the working families who rely on their care.
