THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen :: FIRST … The national homelessness crisis has reached unprecedented levels and local jails play a direct role in the problem. 15% of all people detained or incarcerated report having been homeless. In California, so-called “quality of life” laws target panhandling, living in cars or blocking sidewalks essentially making homelessness a crime. Reporter Sarah McClure chronicles the impact on women caught up in this system, and two ambitious programs working on Housing Not Jails in Los Angeles, trying to change these practices.
AND … Alixa Garcia is Co-Founder & Co-Artistic Director of Climbing PoeTree, an internationally renowned award winning social justice performance duo. She’s also a multi disciplinary artist who has infused our movements for justice with healing and imagination, and community organizing. We talk to her about her new song, with Bravewater – “Fall Like Rain” – a love song for the world and a personal mantra to keep rising and falling, like rain. And hear about her return to visual arts during lockdown, and discuss water protectors and climate change urgency.
