Communities That Care

On this episode of North Gate Radio, five reporters explore how community has shaped the past and present of the Bay Area. You’ll hear about senior citizens in Emeryville playing Mahjong to sharpen their memories, a former Black Panther reflecting on the legacy of the party, and the artistry of the girls flag football team at Berkeley High School. We also meet a death doula helping the bereaved navigate loss through "grief gardening" and close with a trip to an encampment in West Oakland where volunteers are addressing illegal dumping. This is a recording of North Gate Radio that was broadcast live on KALX radio station, 90.7FM.
