A new series of stories in The Intersection from the Central Valley Journalism Collaborative highlight the challenges public and nonprofit agencies in Stockton are facing amid the Trump administration's ongoing funding cuts. Vivienne Aguilar is the health equity reporter at The Intersection and she joins us to share her reporting.

The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation is in the heart of Yolo County’s Capay Valley. A beautifully remote area, which can mean long wait times in emergency response. About 20 years ago, the tribe set out to create a top-tier fire department. Fast forward to today, it has evolved to become the only internationally-accredited Native American fire department  - and recently provided mutual aid to the wildfires across the Los Angeles area. Yocha Dehe Fire Chief Shawn Kinney joins Insight about the road to becoming a state-of-the-art agency.
