A People's Summit in Reno Gathers the Progressive Troops

In this episode, we hear from Lily Baran who recently helped organize the People's Summit at Miguel Ribera park in Reno, to gather forward thinking, solutions oriented progressives. Our reporter Gracie Gordon also interviews several participants, including RoMarTolliver, representing the Black Wall Street non profit in Reno, a new group helping the community’s youth, reaching out to the homeless and working toward a better, more just society. Two members of the Reno Initiative for Shelter and Equality, Jen Cassady and Mary Gilbert, also join her to detail the evolution of RISE which now also manages the new shelter for women, families and elderly called Our Place.
