À propos de cet audio
This week on Law 401, we’re joined by Weayonnoh Nelson-Davies, Executive Director of the Economic Progress Institute, to unpack the sweeping federal legislation known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill." Weayonnoh and her team of experts dug through all 870 pages to break down what really matters for Rhode Islanders.
From massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to the broader legal and civil rights implications, we explore the details that affect you. Who’s most impacted? And how can Rhode Island respond? Tune in for a thoughtful, grounded conversation about law, policy, and the future of equity in our state.
Highlights:
- What does this bill really mean to you?
- Taxing the top to protect the vulnerable
- Why it’s about more than money
- What do the numbers really mean?
- What are legal entitlements?
