WNYC News | Apr 20, 2021

Airing LIVE Thursday, April 22nd, 8-9pm ET.

Join the national conversation with host Brian Lehrer of WNYC as the Biden/Harris administration starts its work.  As we approach the end of the First 100 Days, we check back in with the four priorities President Biden set: 

  • COVID-19
  • Economic Recovery
  • Racial Equity
  • Climate Change 

This week, it's Earth Day and President Biden hosts a virtual summit on combatting climate change.  Paula DiPerna, a special advisor for CDP, the non-profit global environmental impact disclosure platform, talks about the actions take so far by the administration.

Plus, in the wake of the guilty verdict for the murder of George Floyd, Christina Greer, political science professor at Fordham University, host of the podcast FAQNYC, politics editor at The Grio and author of Black Ethnics (Oxford University Press, 2013), examines the Biden/Harris goal of racial equity.
