Michele L. Jawando Vice President, Legal Progress at American Progress

Join your host Wes Blackman as he welcomes Michele L. Jawando, who is the Vice President for Legal Progress at American Progress, to the High Noon in Lake Worth studios.Legal Progress is the legal policy program at the Center for American Progress. No matter the issue—health care, immigration, marriage equality, offshore oil drilling, privacy, ethics—the judiciary will continue to play an increasingly important role in the lives of hardworking Americans as well as in the success of the progressive legislative agenda. Through legal and policy analysis, communications and public education and convening key stakeholders, Legal Progress is helping to push the American legal system in a more progressive direction and educate the public about the impact of the courts on issues they care most about.

In the wake of the August 26th election, we will share experiences and talk about voting rights and voter disenfranchisement.
