Join us for Episode 3 of the Active Hope podcast, featuring Regina Romero, the first Latina and female mayor of Tucson, Arizona. Listen in as our hosts Kamilah Forbes, Marc Bamuthi Joseph, and Paola Prestini of the Apollo Theater, the Kennedy Center, and National Sawdust explore the topic of borders; what is the relationship between borders and migration? How and why do we choose to move? What are the visible and invisible borders we create, or that are created by others, that define our experience?  

A special thank you to our guests, Mayor Regina Romero and Evan Kory. Thank you to all artists featured in this episode: Paola Prestini, Carlos Simon, Violeta Parra, Magos Herrera, Ed Simon, Adam Cruz, Jo Martin, Isabel Wilkerson, Vijay Iyer and Wadada Leo Smith, the MET Orchestra Musicians (Angela Qianwen Shen, Julia Choi, Chihiro Allen and Julia Bruskin), Roomful of Teeth (Glenn Kothche and Jeffrey Zeigler), and Murat Eyuboglus.
