On the radio show this week we cover gun violence in America and how moms and people across the nation are rising to stop it; the importance of investing in real community safety and what that means; we take a deep dive into the recent poverty data and how the reduction was due to the Child Tax Credit expansion (which needs to happen again!); and we cover the importance of care workers earning living wages and of building the care infrastructure we all need.

*Special guests include: Shannon Watts, Moms Demand Action, @MomsDemand @shannonrwatts; Monifa Bandele, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at MomsRising, @MomsRising; Meredith Dodson, Director of US Poverty Policy at RESULTS, @results_tweets; and Nicole Jorwic, Caring Across Generations, @CaringAcrossGen

STEVE LOPEZ, award-winning columnist at the LATimes and best-selling author (The Soloist), just won a prize from Harvard for political reporting, but I don’t think of him as a “Political Reporter”. He’s a story-teller and the leading characters in his stories are the unsung heroes of Los Angeles. We talk about how he sees his role at the Times and in the community, his current take on Southern California and the state of journalism, and his new book (out 11/1), INDEPENDENCE DAY: What I’ve Learned about Retirement from Some Who’ve Done It and Some Who Never Will.
