This week on the podcast, everything else takes a backseat to the COVID-19 epidemic now spreading in Maine. Ben Chin explains policy changes state government can make right now to help Maine’s most vulnerable people.

Esther Pew discusses the organizing and interpersonal effects of the pandemic response and steps Mainers can take to advocate for themselves and their neighbors.
