I'm the Host of The Signal, a New Podcast by the Bucks County Beacon

The First Episode: Immigrant Solidarity - From Bucks County to the Border with Sue-Ann DiVito. Feb. 15 I'll speak with Maurice Cunningham about the "Merchants of Deception" in the "School Board Wars."

Sue-Ann DiVito is a Bucks County mother, grandmother, and political activist. Her “witnessing” has included three trips to the border to see first hand the humanitarian crises exacerbated by policy failures, of Republican and Democratic Administrations alike. She most recently returned from a solidarity delegation sponsored by Witness at the Border called the “Journey for Justice: A Border Pilgrimage.”
