Living Cities speaks with mayors and city staff participating in the Racial Equity Here initiative, on their efforts to combat structural and institutional racism.

In the podcast, Tanzina Vega of CNN and Barrett Pitner of the Guardian and Daily Beast talk candidly about how they approach race in their work, and how storytelling can both build empathy and foster positive conversations on racial inequities. In addition to discussing recent news and media topics, our two journalists offer timely advice for those working on issues of race and poverty. The podcast is the first in a three-part series inspired by Ava Duvernay’s 13th, the recent Netflix documentary on slavery and mass incarceration.
