How the “Delta Tunnel” could impact communities along the Sacramento River. Also, the documentary “Unhoused Neighbors” seeks to challenge stereotypes about those experiencing homelessness. Finally, free therapy sessions offered in Sacramento County.

Impact of the ‘Delta Tunnel’
The proposed Delta Conveyance Project aims to divert more water from the Sacramento River to 27-million people, largely in Southern California, along with acres of farmland. Supporters say the tunnel would cut down on earthquake risks, provide cleaner water, and bolster the state’s water supply. However, Delta residents worry about how construction could affect their communities and native wildlife. CalMatters Environment Reporter Alastair Bland joins Insight to talk about these concerns, proposed alternatives, and whether the “Delta Tunnel” is too big to kill.

CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state.

‘Unhoused Neighbors’ Documentary
A local documentary is seeking to challenge the stereotypes about those experiencing homelessness, by giving them a platform to tell their stories in their own words. Preston Allen is the Sacramento-based Director behind Unhoused Neighbors. He, along with Director of Photography Gavin Veiga, introduce us to the film ahead of its screening at the California State Railroad Museum on March 21 at 6pm.

Free Therapy for the Black Community
Sacramento County is offering free therapeutic services focused on the Black and African American Community. Sierra Health Center joins us to discuss offering culturally-informed therapy sessions. Jackie Rose is the Founder of the Rose Family Creative Empowerment Center. Amaya Noguera is a Program Officer for the Community Responsive Wellness Program. Tina Roberts is the co-Founder of the Roberts Family Development Center. And La Sonya Jones is a community member who benefitted from the program.
