Since taking office, President Donald Trump has continued to carry out promises of cracking down on immigration, including refugees. Resettlement has been suspended and federal funding has been slashed. California is among the top two states for refugee resettlement. And Sacramento is home to large diaspora communities. Jessie Mabry is the CEO of Opening Doors,  a nonprofit that supports immigrants, refugees, and survivors of trafficking. She joins us to talk about how federal policy changes are affecting refugee resettlement efforts in Sacramento, including forcing her organization to lay off staff.

Spring in the Sacramento Valley is a vibrant time. Plants are blooming, orchards are coming back to life, and tiny pollinators are hard at work. If you’ve ever been curious about the business of bees, Nature Day at The HIVE in Woodland is the place to bee this weekend. They’re hosting a free event this Saturday to connect you with local beekeepers, entomologists, farmers, conservationists and horticulturalists. Amina Harris is the Owner of The HIVE and Z Specialty Food. Her daughter Shoshana Zeldner is the Director of Brand Strategy. They join us to discuss Nature Day on Sat. April 5 from 11am to 5pm.

April is Jazz Appreciation Month and we have something special in store. Every Saturday evening, CapRadio Music will transport you back in time, and across the city, playing original jazz shows recorded by CapRadio over the past 45 years - from the Old Sacramento Waterfront, Sac State Music Recital Hall and the once On Broadway Bar and Cafe, featuring many legends of the jazz scene from the last five decades. CapRadio Music Program Director Gary Vercelli and Excellence in Jazz Host Avery Jeffry join us to highlight the special programming they have planned beginning this weekend at 8 p.m. on KXPR 88.9 FM as well as streaming at capradio.org.
