Month, Sept. 15–Oct. 15,

in on important issues
including immigration
and citizenship, health care and
social justice. An Emmy-nominated MSNBC
contributor and former host of
“Changing America,” Kumar is a
World Economic

Parenthood, Emily’s
List and the Latino
Leaders Network,

and the University of
California at Davis.
