This week, we premiere our new segment, Perspectives on the News, a look at the latest news of the week with organizers from across the country. We are joined for the first segment by Winn Ellinger, an Austin-based political organizer, to talk about the LA teachers’ strikes, the government shutdown, and Brexit.

Then, we talk with Madeline Detelich and Marina Roberts, co-chairs of the Austin DSA housing committee, about the viability of home ownership and the mass purchase of land by private equity firms.
