It’s easy to shift blame on politicians or the government. But what can regular people do to be part of the solution? What will history say about our response to this crisis? In this final episode, Ethan chats with Lizzy Calhoun, a film editor and mutual aid worker who is all about direct action. 

Lizzy's involvement with mutual aid began with volunteering to serve food on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles during the pandemic. She describes her initial feelings of anxiety the first time she went to Skid Row. Lizzy also talks about the importance of empathy and compassion to build meaningful connections with the unhoused people she serves.
