Want to have a reason to be grateful this Thanksgiving?

Sit down and watch the Frontline on PBS episode from this past September about the decline of the once thriving city of Dayton, Ohio. It opened my eyes to the faces of wage inequality, the opioid crisis and the dying small cities of our country. The episode is titled "Left Behind America".

I grew up in a rural part of Northeast Ohio and this video hit home for me in many ways. I challenge everyone to watch this and not want to help find a solution to this growing wage inequality problem. As Democrats we need to be the party who leads the way on fixing this inequality, and we have to keep their feet to the fire now that we've made some inroads into Congress.
