Ep 42 - James White of the ESATTA Cooperative discusses "Healing the Civic Heart" with Joy Gilfilen, Host of the iChange Justice podcast. For 38 years James has worked compassionately in the community living field in British Columbia, CA. James founded a non-profit for people with "diverse abilities" - typically called the learning disabled who have been marginalized and dismissed as useful to society for decades.

He has helped them become a valued asset in the community as leaders and employed; with administrators working inside the government systems and directly as a field worker across BC and in the downtown East Side with street entrenched youth, the homeless, mentally traumatized, addicted, suicidal and dealing with chronic trauma.

His lived experience is truly informed about how our world has been turned upside down by the Covid crisis...and what we can do to adapt!
