On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we're discussing the humanitarian crisis in Yemen with PBS NewsHour special correspondent Jane Ferguson. According to the UN, 80 percent of Yemen's population needs humanitarian aid, including more than 12 million children.
Later in the show, Mother Jones reporter Ari Berman will discuss a wave of GOP backed voter suppression bills across the country. This week, Florida became the latest state to make sweeping changes to the state’s voting system, including provisions targeting voting by mail and limiting the use of ballot drop boxes.
