1) Samuel Adler-Bell an independent journalist and co-host of the Know Your Enemy podcast, talks about his recent Intercept article: "Coronavirus Has Given The Left A Historic Opportunity. Can They Seize It?" - and the May Day workers strikes nationwide, which relate directly to issues covered in his piece.

2) Chuck Collins, Director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies, talks about his important new report: "Billionaire Bonanza 2020: Wealth Windfalls, Tumbling Taxes, and Pandemic Profiteers," with a focus on the report's recommendations to prevent the pandemic from further concentrating wealth and power.

3) Jaisal Noor, host, producer and reporter for The Real News Network, discusses the national General Strike on May Day, assessing the success of the strike, and how workers across the U.S. are mobilizing to challenge America's broken political and economic systems during the current coronavirus crisis and beyond.

4) Tom Swan Executive Director of the Connecticut Citizen Action Group, CCAG, discusses the current effort by a number of statewide groups, including Common Cause and the League of Women Voters, to ensure that CT voters have the ability to vote-by-mail in this November's election, in view of concerns that the coronavirus could dissuade potentially large numbers of people from casting ballots at local voting sites.
