A Ground Shifting Supreme Court Terms Comes to a Close

This year’s ground shifting Supreme Court term comes to a close on Thursday. This term, the Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, expanded religious rights and struck down gun regulation.

With confidence in the Supreme Court at an all-time low, many Americans believe that the justices are out of step with the majority of the country. What will that mean for the Court’s future? We’ll talk to a panel of experts about the term’s most significant rulings and look at what might be on the docket for next year’s term when Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson joins the Court.see more

But New America president Anne-Marie Slaughter and Family Story co-director Mia Birdsong argue that the United States has stuck with outdated policies aimed toward two-parent households.  We speak with Slaughter and Birdsong about policy changes that can help meet the demands of today's families.
