We are already on our 8th episode, how exciting! We will also be having our second on-air guest, Eureka City Council member Kim Bergel. She will be talking to us about her experience during the homelessness challenge. She and the rest of Council were challenged to live outside for 48 hours to get a feel for what it's like for our friends and neighbors who are experiencing chronic homelessness and have no where to go- rain or shine, good health or bad. Our second segment will focus on Fortuna City Council and their desire to implement a Syringe Exchange ordinance similar to the one that exists in Eureka, and the unfortunate and inhumane comments that have resulted from their discussion.
Below are links to a few articles about Fortuna as well as coverage of the homelessness challenge.
