In this episode of Our Community, host Candice Michel speaks with Diana Carter, executive director of Brookings CORE Response, and Sean Cosgrove, a national forest service ranger, about the profound impacts of recent government actions on local communities, public lands, and social safety nets. The discussion highlights issues like abrupt funding cuts to nonprofits, which jeopardize critical services for vulnerable populations, and the defunding of public land management agencies, which threatens environmental conservation and public access.
