Atmospheric River Arrives This Week

After a few days of mild, spring-like weather, Northern California is poised to take a direct hit from an atmospheric river ramping up off the coast. Along with the rain, it is forecasted to be gusty and potentially dangerous wind - which has the potential to knock out power and cause property damage. Joining us today to walk us through the timing of the storms is National Weather Service Sacramento meteorologist, Jeffrey Wood.

Empowerment Center for Human Trafficking Survivors

(3SGF) works to create a world free from human trafficking. The nonprofit is set to open The Table in downtown Sacramento– an empowerment center for survivors of human trafficking and those at risk of exploitation. Ashlie Bryant is the President & CEO 3Strands Global Foundation. Kaitlyn DiCicco is Vice President Survivor Services. And Kristi Merrill is a Survivor Leader Advocate. They join Insight to discuss how The Table will provide services for survivors and at-risk youth - ranging from basic needs, to mental health support, career workshops, and childcare.
