Join WRKF and listeners nationwide for a weekly national live listener call-ins leading up to the 2024 election, Wednesdays at 7pm, focusing on issues including healthcare, housing, the care economy, and the media.

America Are We Ready: Healthcare, Housing, and the Care Economy
Wednesdays, October 9, 16, and 23 at 7pm

So let’s make some space to hear the stories that shape our points of view, ask questions, and learn what the candidates’ probable policies could mean for things like medicine bills, the rent, and childcare.
