The War on the Poor and Working Families

Published on Feb 6, 2014

Robert Reich connects the dots to show how a range of positions, on issues ranging from the minimum wage to unemployment insurance to food stamps, work together to keep poor and working families in desperate situations -- and calls on all of us to do something about it. We can get started by calling our senators via the Senate Switchboard at (202) 224-3121, and urging them to extend emergency unemployment insurance. This video is the latest Robert Reich collaboration with MoveOn.org Civic Action.

He was a very hard line proponent for NAFTA, which helped make so many inside the middle class go under.
