YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWith less than 48 hours before a government shutdown, Republicans and Democrats are stuck in a standoff over Obamacare tax credits, pointing fingers while millions brace for impact. But the communities most at risk aren’t lobbyists or politicians: it’s Black America.
Black workers make up 18% of the federal workforce, higher than their share of the population, and many can’t afford to miss even one paycheck. A shutdown would freeze lifelines like WIC food assistance, HUD housing support, health programs for parents, and even student aid. For families already living paycheck-to-paycheck, this isn’t politics. It’s survival.
In this excerpt from the latest NIGHT SCHOOL episode, Marc Lamont Hill breaks down how a shutdown would hit Black workers and families the hardest, and why Washington’s “game of chicken” could deepen the racial wealth gap for years to come.
