This is the Tom Hartman Program.

Greetings my friends, patriots, lovers of democracy, truth and justice,

believers in peace, freedom, and the American way.

Tom Harbin here with you, Al Franken just announced he's resigning from the Senate in the coming weeks.

And his setup for that was he said that some of the charges against him, some are wrong in his opinion and some are things that he doesn't remember the way that the people who accused him remembered but nonetheless he's

bailing and Ebony Land is with us she is the policy director of Social Security

works out first I should mention we're at we act radio right now. We Act Radio, a progressive radio station in Washington, D.C. in the Anacostia part of D.C. here.

And just a great endeavor. And Ebony, welcome to the program.

Thanks for having me Tom.

Thanks for joining us.

You are the policy director with Social Security Works and so tell us about yourself.

So I started at Social Security Works about three years ago now and I just became the policy director I also do some

digital work but I just love fighting for you know just causes and such so I have a one year old son and I'm married and that's about it

That's great so this is not just a job this is a mission for you yes that's that that is great so ebony

your thoughts on al-francan's resignation I think that his resignation came a

little late but I'm I'm glad that he's finally resigned.

I think his speech, his announcement, was slightly more about him than it should have been.

I think that this discussion now should be more about survivors and, dare I say, victims of sexual harassment and less about the people

who are accused of said acts.

So I think that his resignation is timely and I think that this isn't a

bipartisan issue. This is something that needs to be a concern of American. So

people like Donald Trump and people like Roy Moore need to also be held
