Pennsylvania’s courts declared that our school funding system is unconstitutional because the quality of students’ education is determined by their zip code. This year lawmakers have a chance to end the underfunding via a proposed $1.8 billion increase for public schools and a long-term commitment to close the entire funding gap.  I’m joined by students who are part of Children First’s Justice in Education Program who are advocates for equitable education funding.  They are: Gwen Shapiro, Tyrese Gordon,  Agnes Kane, Hannah Levere, Jaelyn Walker, Dell Salm, Talia Flavin and Regina Yajah.

First, I speak to Dr. Camille Ragin, former Chair Minority In Cancer Research Council  for the American Association for Cancer Research.   Dr. Ragin is also  professor in the Cancer Prevention and Control Program at Fox Chase Cancer Center-Temple University Health System in Philadelphia and  Associate Director, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Fox Chase. The AACR is a recipient of a portion of the proceeds from the recent "Sista Strut" Breast Cancer Walk sponsored by WDAS FM, Power 99 and Rumba 1061.  Dr. Ragin, discuses the latest information on the health disparities for Black women when it comes to breast cancer.
