Carjackings? Tent Cities? Can One Woman Fix LA? with Karen Bass
Manage episode 330355649 series 3000050
"[Homelessness] has become a humanitarian crisis. It has become an emergency that I believe needs to be addressed with the same mentality that you would address a natural disaster. I mean, this is Los Angeles. We have the skills, the knowledge and the resources."
Karen Bass is going back to where it all began: Los Angeles, California. After an extensive and impressive tenure in Congress, Karen Bass is running for Mayor of LA. She has big goals and tangible plans to make them happen. At the top of her list is solving the homelessness crisis in LA. This week, Karen joins Van to explain how understanding the “why” is at the root of resolving homelessness, how her grassroots background prepared her for this moment, and why there’s a reason for hope during these uncertain times.
New episodes of Uncommon Ground with Van Jones release weekly, every Wednesday. What assumptions are you challenging? What do you wish officials knew about your own community? Call 347-770-2785 and leave Van a voicemail. Your comment or question will be recorded, and may be played and answered on a future episode of Uncommon Ground!
