Dig on America

Melanie D'Arrigo is a progressive Democrat running for congress in NY04

Show Notes

Lourin Hubbard and Brent Hennrich welcome Democratic congressional candidate Melanie D'Arrigo to Last Call, where Melanie defends several progressive opinions and talks about her campaign in New York. Check out her campaign at www.darrigo2022.com and get out the vote on August 23!

Melanie D’Arrigo is a healthcare advocate, community organizer, non-profit co-founder and mother of three who believes we need new leaders in Washington who will fight for Long Island and Queens families—not become part of the same broken system.
Melanie was born into an impoverished family on the South Shore of Long Island, and raised in a union household by her grandmother. With grit and determination, Melanie beat the odds and was the first in her family to attend college—working numerous jobs while attending Barnard, and graduating with thousands in student loans.
Melanie earned her Masters of Science degree from the School of Health Professions at Long Island University, and has worked as a healthcare advocate and strategist ever since, teaching children, families and organizations how to live healthier lives, prevent serious medical conditions, and save money. 
As a mother of three, Melanie knows what it’s like to battle the American healthcare system and the workplace as a new mom. While pregnant, Melanie was passed over for a job after the employer saw she was expecting. And when her son Ryan was born and her husband was laid off, Melanie was put on a payment plan — owing the hospital thousands of dollars for having a baby.

What is Dig on America?

Every week we introduce you to an event in American History, policy, and media, then discuss how that historical event impacts the socio-political issues America faces today. We give you The Dig on US History and offer political commentary and opinion, as well as discussion of current news from Progressive perspectives.

DoA is an apparent propaganda arm of The Deep State. Probably financed in some way by George Soros, The Clinton Foundation, Jay-Z, maybe even Joe Rogan.

Get the Dig with Big Hass, Dutch, Attorney Anna and Mikey as we explore current events in the good ol' USA, with a few pop-culture sprinkles along the way. We interview great guests covering all sides of tough topics from policy to systemic racism to the social messages in film and sports, as well as constitutional issues protected within the Bill of Rights and the history of injustice in America, no matter who's fault it is. You might even get a little smoke in your eye!

When you don't know your history, you're doomed to repeat it. Facts don't care about your feelings, right? Criticizing America when she is wrong does not mean you hate America, it means you love her enough to want her to be better.

Join us weekly and check out the live stream on YouTube and Twitch. Find the youtube at www.youtube.com/DigOnAmerica or Follow us on Twitter @DigOnAmerica or online at www.DigOnAmerica.com
