On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, Republicans will hold their national convention in the battleground state of Wisconsin next week. GOP members will roll out their party’s platform at a time of growing concern about the Republican Party’s association with Christian nationalism. Rose is joined by Kiera Butler, a Senior Editor & Reporter with Mother Jones and The Center for Investigative Reporting. Butler is attending the convention and will focus on the growing influence of Christian nationalists in the GOP.
Also, it’s been years since the height of the pandemic, and the need for rental assistance to avoid eviction remains high. That’s according to Star-C, an affordable housing-education nonprofit. Today, we’re joined by Star-C Executive Director Audrea Rease, who discusses local ongoing challenges, their partnership with the City of Atlanta, and the latest influx of funds Star-C has received. We’ll also hear how the nonprofit is preparing kids for school and marking its 10th anniversary.
