We’re starting our weekly show today with an update on the coronavirus, and a look at other issues in the news.
And there’s a lot going on.
Monuments are coming down all over the country. And a lot of white people - and some Black and Brown people - are learning for the first time about how racist policies are interwoven into our societies. The most interesting story for me in the last couple of weeks is an LA Times article on how Southern California freeways were built to obliterate well off Black populations.
Here are some other antiracist websites:
Teaching Anti-Racism
Robin DiAngelo on White Fragility
Berkeley's The Greater Good
Schools have also been in the news in the last couple of weeks. CCSD and Washoe County Schools have come out with plans to have students in buildings half time, and learning at home half time. This seems to be the model for most large cities around the country. CCSD is holding a special board meeting July 6 to discuss the plan.

Bailey Middle School got an answer from CCSD CFO Jason Goudie about why they have almost $400,000 less in their budget. And it's not a good one.
Legislative Update: Housing and Criminal Justice
Carrie Kaufman talks to Nevada Current reporter Michael Lyle about the housing and criminal justice bills he's seeing come up in the 2021 Nevada Legislative Session. It's a pretty progressive session, making small changes with big impacts.
Progressives Take Over Nevada Democratic Party
Wherein Chris G takes on Nicole Cannizzaro, CCSD, challenges Legislative Dems to put their money where their mouth is, and progressives to focus on the boring organizational stuff and offers training for both Republicans and Democrats for free.
We are also joined by Leisa Moseley, who was the political director for the 2020 Bernie campaign, and Dr. Zaffar Iqbal, who is now the 2nd vice chair of the NV Dems.
But honestly, folks, this is a Chris G interview.
IMPACT on Pahrump - 2
Pahrump resident Sara Walker jumped in last March and started making masks. Carrie checks in with her again to see how her year has been. Short answer... not that great. But she's still giving back.
