Wednesday, May 16, 2012
9 to 10 a.m.
On WSLR 96.5 FM and streaming online at www.WSLR.org

This week on Local Matters (Wednesday May 16, from 9 to 10 a.m.) hosts Joe Hendricks and J.P. Fazio welcome Sue Westcott and Maggie Davenport from the ALSO OUT YOUTH organization, a Sarasota organization that ”strives to end all forms of violence, harassment and discrimination based on real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.” Their mission is to “enhance self-esteem, promote healthy dialogue, and increase awareness of sexual minority issues.”

Sue and Maggie will discuss the role that ALSO OUT YOUTH plays in assisting young folks dealing with sexuality issues and some of the activities and events associated with these efforts. We will talk about some of the issues gay and lesbian youths struggle with and we will also discuss President Obama’s recent expression of support for same-sex marriages, how this might impact young folks and what impact the President’s views might have here in Sarasota and around the state. We’ll also delve into some of the issues that same-sex couples face, including health care, parental rights, visitation rights and other matters.

Poverty in America officially has a new face: women. More than half of the 46.2 million Americans living in poverty are women, and 29 percent of adult women are more likely to be poor than adult men.  From 2009 to 2010, more than 1 million additional children also fell into poverty, and the numbers continue to rise.

In this special broadcast Tavis Smiley convenes a diverse all-woman panel of thought leaders, opinion makers, and influencers to examine the growing numbers of women and children falling into poverty.

Panelists include: Nely Galan, founder, The Adelante Movement; Dr. Julianne Malveaux, economist and president, Bennett College; Suze Orman, America’s leading authority on personal finance; Susan Sarandon, Award-winning actress and human rights activist; Hilda Solis, 25th United States Secretary of Labor; Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers; Sheryl WuDunn, Pulitzer Prize–winning writer and co-author of Half the Sky with New York Times columnist Nicolas Kristoff.
