The People Power Hour replays an important conversation with Brian Larios of UMKC Law about Kansas City's Right to Counsel program, which provides free legal representation to tenants facing eviction. Along with KC Tenant Leaders Sabrina Davis and Val Brooks-Davis, Brian breaks down the eviction process, explains what tenants can expect in court, and shares how legal representation can help people stay in their homes. This conversation was recorded in February 2024.

The People Power Hour welcomes KC Tenant Leaders Nelson Randolph and Taki Manolakos to discuss the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the return of fares on Kansas City buses. Together, they talk about what the World Cup means for Kansas City, why bus fares are back, and who ends up paying the price when public money flows to major events while working people face new costs just to get around.

The People Power Hour welcome Brett Hamilton, a leader of KC Tenants; Mariel Ferreiro, co-founder of Sanctuary Alliance, of Lawrence, KS; and Claudia Torres, program coordinator with AIRR, to talk about what it takes to defend your community against ICE activity.

The People Power Hour welcomes Chris Lopez, a leader with Decarcerate KC, to talk about the World Cup prison, and Tiago Donato, a leader with KC Tenants who is from Rio de Janeiro and was involved in some of the organizing that was happening in that city ahead of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. We talk about some of the many risks you run when your city agrees to host a sporting mega-event.
