The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET.

Brad is first joined by Hope Frye, an internationally recognized immigration lawyer focused on disadvantaged populations, especially women and children. She is the Co-founder and executive director of 'Project Lifeline,' a nonprofit focused on children who are or were in immigration detention in CBP jails, ORR shelters or ICE family detention facilities.

Brad and Hope discuss the surge in child migrants to the U.S. southern border, including how we got to this point, and what the best path is going forward. Hope and Project Lifeline are calling for an end to Title 42 expulsions, which currently prevent migrants from being able to enter the U.S. on a public health pretext. Hope also tells Brad and the audience about kids at the border and ongoing family separation. The website for Project Lifeline is ProjectLifeline.us and their Twitter handle is @ProjLifeline.

During the second half of the show, Brad is joined by Bina Venkataraman, Editorial Page Editor of The Boston Globe and Co-Founder of 'The Emancipator,' an independent anti-racist multimedia platform.

Brad and Bina discuss the launch of the 'The Emancipator,' which is a resurrection of an early 19th-century abolitionist newspaper that its contemporary founders hope will reframe the national conversation in an effort to "hasten racial justice." The Boston Globe and Boston University Center for Antiracist Research are partnering to launch the venture. You can read more about 'The Emancipator' at its website, which is www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/the-emancipator/.

Brad writes a political column every Sunday for 'The Hill.' He's on the National Journal's panel of political insiders and is a national political analyst for WGN TV and Radio in Chicago and KNX Radio in Los Angeles.
