The Narrative Kids Are the Key to Good Policy with Katy Faust and Maria Baer
Katy Faust–Founder and President of Them Before Us, has an upcoming new book, Pro-Child Politics (releasing September 24), which highlights the need and benefits of placing children's needs above adults' desires on a broad range of policy issues–from porn to debt, and foreign policy to religious liberty–with top experts contributing to each chapter and topic in the book.
Maria Baer, a contributor to the book, joins Katy on The Narrative podcast to dive into the heart of the book, with a special emphasis on Maria's chapter on digital technology and what parents can do to protect their children.
Before the conversation, co-hosts CCV President Aaron Baer and Communications Director Mike Andrews share the latest updates on the SAFE Act/Save Women's Sports Act (HB68) court case that had put the law on hold, and the realities of the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz presidential candidate ticket.
