We cover issues that affect most working people and cover the things that crucial to their lives right now with content that speaks directly to the most common concerns of most Americans - from the Coronavirus to Voting rights.
Polarized fake news abounds, along with corporate-friendly spin doctors and progressive programs that fail to reach working class audiences. When it comes to middle class concerns, there is a real vacuum that needs to be addressed, especially when you consider these uncertain times of pandemic and the upcoming high-stakes election. Given, there's now an estimated 100 million Americans soon to be without health care, 38% falling into unemployment, and many at risk of losing their jobs or independent “gigs”,
THE NATIONAL is here.

And what was in that air? The fire started on the grounds of the former Rocketdyne Nuclear Testing Lab and the spreading smoke may have contained dangerous radiation.

Designed to train high schoolers to directly enter the workforce, P-TECHs blend a four-year high school curriculum with a free, two-year, tech- oriented associate’s degree. Each school is affiliated with multiple local or national companies, who provide mentorships, paid internships and job interviews.
Jennifer Ryan Crozier leads IBM Corporate Citizenship – overseeing the company’s contributions of technology and talent to help governments, nonprofits and communities to tackle some of the world’s most difficult societal challenges. Under Ms. Crozier’s leadership, IBM is combining talent and technology to address global health disparities, reinvent education to prepare young people for 21st century jobs, and blaze new trails in citizen diplomacy.
