We rarely include police shootings in the ongoing discussion about America's gun violence epidemic. Power dynamics and racial biases often create false choices that further isolate police shootings from the broader conversation. Stephanie and Dujie discuss the divide between community and police in interviews with Seattle Police Department Lieutenant Adrian Diaz, former King County Sheriff and current principal of Washington's Police Academy Sue Rahr, criminal justice reform activist Nikkita Oliver, and Community Passageways founder Dominique Davis. We wrap up the episode with De-escalate Washington campaign manager Riall Johnson, who offers a way out of this mess through one of our very favorite things -- collective action.

We all know that big money matters in politics, but do you realize that moneyed interests have also shaped the way we perceive the economy?
Cass and Dujie talk with historians and journalists to discover the various strategies elites have employed to justify their disproportionate levels of wealth. Two self-identified elites, venture capitalist Nick Hanauer and author/activist Eric Liu, explain why citizens shouldn’t feel helpless in this moment of inequality. And they discuss the irony of using their power and to limit the influence of elites.

Climate change is a huge problem on a global scale, which makes it difficult to imagine the personal consequences. That's why the team at Civic Action narrowed their focus to Washington state, in order to really understand what climate change means for our own backyard. Annie and Cass talk to farmers, professors, and a member of the Swinomish tribe to learn the negative (and, yes, some positive) effects of climate change on the region.
