Nevada Regional Medical Center's Jennifer Eaton joins Mike Harbit to discuss the FY 2024 Community Benefit Report

As health systems work to eliminate inequities in the communities they serve, are we doing all that we can to establish trustworthiness with those communities? What if there is already a lack of trust between provider and patient?Betsy Taylor, Editor of Health Progress and Philip Alberti, Ph.D., Sr. Director of Health Equity Research and Policy and Founding Director of the AAMC Center for Health Justice, join the show to discuss Dr. Alberti's recent article in Health Progress.

Peter Lewis, Francois DeJohn and Trevor Large join Santa Barbara Talks with Josh Molina to talk about the proposed Community Benefit Improvement District. The proposed CBID would enhance safety and cleanliness on State Street. The purpose of the proposed Community Benefit Improvement District (CBID) is to ensure the future economic vitality of downtown. This initiative aims to assess property owners within the proposed district to independently fund and direct special benefits to address cleanliness, safety, beautification, maintenance, identity, and placemaking, beyond what the City currently provides. The Downtown Organization of Santa Barbara, the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, and the CBID Steering Committee are putting forward this important initiative. Formation of the CBID would provide property owners and business community members in the district with a unified voice to advocate for the district, collectively liaise with the City, and independently manage the use of funds to their benefit. Assessments on real property within the proposed district will fund enhanced benefits to attract new customers, businesses, residents, and appeal to visitors throughout downtown. Please watch this podcast on YouTube and visit www.santabarbaratalks.com to consider a contribution. SBT is Santa Barbara's No. 1 podcast where journalist Josh Molina interviews people on the topics of media, education, housing, politics, business and culture.

In episode 2 of Season 4, we are joined by Virginia Parks, Professor at University of California Irvine, and Roxana Tynan, Executive Director of the Los Angeles Alliance for New Economy (LAANE) for a conversation about community benefit agreements. Steven Waller and Alice Yuan co-host.  The episode describes the history and mechanics of CBAs, tracing their roots in early 2000s Los Angeles and how they have evolved over time to be a tool leveraged by city actors to promote equity and opportunity. We learn how the organizing work undergirding CBA activity in the early 2000s in Los Angeles showcased both the possibilities and shortcomings of CBAs and where the work has expanded in the decades since the modern CBA movement was born.  Join us for a great conversation!

Huge amounts of money have been allocated by the government under the Infrastructure Law as well as the Inflation Reduction Act. So how do local recipients ensure that the funds actually benefit the local community – and not just provide wages for out-of-town workers who swoop in to build a project and then move on to follow the money? Community Benefit Agreements are one tool to make sure these funds are equitably distributed. Annie and Jay Warmke of Blue Rock Station are joined by Natalia Rudiak of ReImagine Appalachia in a discussion of how the region can “win the win” when these funds are allocated.

In this episode of Handpicked: Stories from the Field, Laine Young speaks with Alexandra Rodriguez about Agricultura Urbana Participativa AGRUPAR, an urban agriculture project that aims to address food insecurity and improve people’s lives by creating more a sustainable food system in Quito, Ecuador. Using an intersectional lens, Laine and Alexandra’s conversation looks at the positive community-wide impacts of women's involvement in participatory urban agriculture projects and considers how women’s lived experience is governed by race, class, gender, sexuality, ability and other factors. Alexandra shares her experience working on the project as well as examples of how AGRUPAR is finding local solutions to the unique challenges facing Quito’s food system.   Contributors: Co-Producers & Hosts: Laine Young & Amanda Di Battista  Sound Design & Editing: Laine Young & Amanda Di Battista Research Assistant: Adedotun Babajide  Guests Alexandra Rodriguez Erick Fay   Support & Funding Wilfrid Laurier University The Laurier Centre for Sustainable Food Systems Balsillie School for International Affairs  CIGI  Music Credits Keenan Reimer-Watts  Resources  Moving Beyond Acknowledgments- LSPIRG Whose Land Laurier Centre for Sustainable Food Systems FAO City Region Food System Program: Quito, Ecuador RUAF Global Partnership Milan Urban Food Policy Pact  Intersectionality Matters Podcast Growing Food in the City: Urban Agriculture in Quito, Ecuador, Through a Feminist Lens, paper by Laine Young   Connect with Us: Email: Handpickedpodcast@WLU.ca Twitter: @Handpickedpodc Facebook: Handpicked Podcast  Glossary of Terms  City Region Food System  “A City Region Food Systems (CRFS) approach aims to foster the development of resilient and sustainable food systems within urban centres, peri-urban and rural areas surrounding cities by strengthening rural-urban linkages.”   http://www.fao.org/in-action/food-for-cities-programme/approach-old/crfs/en/   Food Policy  Food policies are developed by governments at different scales to guide food-related decisions and actions. They inform and govern public, private, and non-profit sector actions related to improving food-related outcomes and can create opportunities for stakeholders to work together across sectors.  Food Security   Food security is the ability to access safe, nutritious, culturally appropriate, and sufficient food all year round. A person or community is food insecure when people cannot afford or have limited or no access to the food they need to nourish their bodies. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization state that “food insecurity can affect diet quality in different ways, potentially leading to undernutrition as well as. . . obesity.”  http://www.fao.org/publications/sofi/2020/en/   Food Sovereignty  "Food Sovereignty is the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems."   https://viacampesina.org/en/    Food Waste  Waste that is created through food production or food that is wasted because it is not eaten. Unnecessary food waste can be generated at all points along the food chain, including during production and distribution or at the household level.   https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/managing-reducing-waste/food-loss-waste.html   Informal Economy of Food   Economies of food that emphasize “personal relationships, trust, and non-market values, which are inherently challenging to define and often impossible to quantify.” Informal economies of food are “spaces for non-traditional forms of innovation as well as opportunities for deep insights into social relationships, cultural meanings, and environmental values . . . and challenge us to think of economic systems in far more complex ways than mainstream economic theory would propose.”    http://nourishingontario.ca/the-social-economy-of-food/    Intersectionality  Intersectionality considers how different power relations, such as race, gender, sexuality, and class, among other things, impact an individual’s lived experience. The Merrium-Webster dictionary defines intersectionality as, “the complex, cumulative way in which the effects of multiple forms of discrimination (such as racism, sexism, and classism) combine, overlap, or intersect especially in the experiences of marginalized individuals or groups.” Kimberlé W. Crenshaw, an American legal scholar and civil rights activist, coined the term in 1989 to describe Black women’s experience of the intersection of sexism and racism.   https://chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1052&context=uclf   Supply Chain  All of the components of a system—including organizations, producers, suppliers, people, resources, activities, information, and infrastructures—that get a product to a consumer.    Sustainable Food System  Food systems that are “socially just, support local economies; are ecologically regenerative, and foster citizen engagement.”  https://fledgeresearch.ca/    Sustainable Healthy Diets  “Sustainable Healthy Diets are dietary patterns that promote all dimensions of individuals’ health and wellbeing; have low environmental pressure and impact; are accessible, affordable, safe and equitable; and are culturally acceptable.”  http://www.fao.org/3/ca6640en/ca6640en.pdf   Territorial Food Strategy/Policy  A set of formally agreed upon policies or strategies that guide programs and development related to food in a city region food system. In Quito, the development of a Territorial Food Strategy and Policy has been informed by a multi-stakeholder consultation process that brought together representatives from government, international and civil society organizations, research institutions, and the private sector to find a common vision, goals, and outcomes for the strategy and to identify key food system indicators, activities, and timelines.   http://www.fao.org/in-action/food-for-cities-programme/pilotcities/quito/en/   Urban   A town or city and surrounding areas where more than 1000 people live and population density is more than 400 people per square kilometre. The urban is often described in contrast to the rural and includes highly developed landscape and infrastructure, like public transit.  https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/subjects/standard/pcrac/2016/introduction   Urban Agriculture  Agriculture that takes place in cities, towns, or other urban areas. Urban agriculture can include community gardens, balcony or backyard gardens, raising chickens or other livestock, urban food gathering, etc.     Discussion Questions  Why is food insecurity such a concern in Quito? What factors contribute to the risk of food insecurity among the citizens of Quito and how are these similar/different from the risks to food insecurity where you live? What is urban agriculture and how can it contribute to sustainable food system change?  How are AGRUPAR’s urban agriculture projects changing the lives of women in Quito? Why do you think small scale urban agriculture is having such a big impact?  What is intersectionality? Why is an intersectional analysis critical to understanding the lived experiences of food system actors, especially women and Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC)?

How can we go beyond self-reflexivity in our research and deal with our inability to directly impact the living conditions of our interlocutors? Our interlocutors often request our assistance with daily tasks and have their own agendas regarding collaboration. But in many cases, they may not want us to intervene in any public way. Therefore, we must not enforce our agendas of “social justice” and “activism,” assuming that the project could transform their situation. Kazubowski-Houston explains how the layer of fiction in her work allows Romani women to share issues of concern in a carefully edited, curated, and anonymized way due to fear of community reprisal. Instead of always approaching activism as a social movement or a protest, we should consider the potential of such improvisatory practices and the subtle, slow ways in which activism plays out in everyday life.

Editor in Chief Fred Rivara and Deputy Editor Steve Fihn discuss research published in in May 2020.

Established in 2003 with a service area encompassing an entire metropolitan area, the Urban Land Conservancy has become a major player on Denver's real estate scene. An integral part of its success comes from the organization's adoption of key features of the CLT, including permanent ownership of land, long-term ground leasing, and permanent affordability of housing and other buildings located on its land. More than most CLTs in the USA and elsewhere, ULC has taken advantage of the model's versatility to move beyond homeownership –and beyond housing. ULC has supported the development of over 1000 units of multi-family rental housing, while also helping to develop 700,000 square feet of non-residential space for nonprofit partners. It has recently incubated the Elevation CLT, a new organization that (unlike ULC) will focus on the development and stewardship of resale-restricted owner-occupied housing.

Today’s episode is with Fernando Pujals, the Senior Director of Communications and Clean Operations for the TLCBD (Tenderloin Community Benefit District). This episode is a follow-up to our previous episode with chef Joanna Karlinsky, who has been directly feeding the unhoused on the streets of the Tenderloin and other encampments around the city. When I interviewed Joanna, she revealed folks have been asking her for water due to diminished access—she’s been filling containers and buying water for them on her own. It was a distressing piece of information, and led me to connect further with the TLCBD about what to do. I’m so grateful I was able to speak with Fernando for today’s episode, who offers us some perspective on the crisis happening on the streets of the Tenderloin during this pandemic, how the city is responding, all the ways the TLCBD organization works with the neighborhood, and how we can support the Tenderloin restaurants and food businesses that are still open. Be sure to listen to the very end, when Fernando talks about a grant program On the Fly listeners can donate to and DOUBLE the aid going to restaurants and food entrepreneurs. You have until noon on Sunday May 3rd, 2020, for the match, but if you’re getting to this later, you can always email info@tlcbd.org and mention tablehopper and they’ll make sure your donation directly supports Tenderloin food businesses (it doesn't seem you can leave a note in PayPal when donating directly via the TLCBD website button).

  Bio Robert Phillips (@rphillipsalluma) leads the strategic direction, fiscal stewardship, daily operations, and overall management of Alluma as CEO. A healthcare advocate and philanthropist, Robert joined the Board of Alluma (then Social Interest Solutions) in 2006, and became President of the Board and CEO in 2017. Robert has been acting on his commitment to improve the health and wellbeing of communities in the U.S. and California for over 25 years. He played a crucial role in strategic philanthropic and advocacy efforts to improve the health of children and youth of color, expand health coverage to all children in California, modernize enrollment into public programs using technology solutions, and implement electronic health records in community clinics. His leadership at Alluma builds from experience at the California Endowment, Sierra Health Foundation, PolicyLink, AFL-CIO, SEIU, and Kaiser Permanente’s Community Benefit and Strategy. Decade after decade he has been proactively gaining the tools to lead changemakers in building what we need to achieve the economic well-being we aspire to as a society.  Resources Alluma News Roundup   Sharing economy implodes as people stay home  The sharing economy has imploded amidst sharply reduced demand for things like ride or apartment-sharing as Americans shelter in place. Lyft announced that it would be laying off 17% of its workforce, with more layoffs to come. Uber’s Chief Technology Officer stepped down as the company announced that it would be laying off some 20% of its workforce. And Axios reports that Airbnb took on two, separate, $1 billion loans in April alone. Study: Sextortionists netted some $500k in five months  Sextortion has been on the rise according to a new report from cybersecurity firm Sophos. The company found that so-called sextortionists – criminals who blackmail people for thousands of dollars in exchange for not revealing their online porn habits and sexual predilections – have raked in some $500k. Interestingly, most people didn’t fall for the scheme which involved paying into a bitcoin wallet set up by the perpetrators, just .5% of targets paid into the wallet, according to the report. Still the amount of money these criminals raised from such a low response rate was enough to raise some red flags. Hate groups and tech  Technology continues to enable hate speech and white supremacy as some investors have become unwitting funders of companies owned by white supremacists. The Tech Transparency project found about 125 militant groups on Facebook promoting a second Civil War, or “boogaloo”, as they refer to it. Also, Softbank has apparently invested in surveillance firm Banjo whose CEO, according to OneZero, apparently admitted to helping a KKK member shoot up a synagogue. According to the report, Damien Patton admitted to being involved with the Dixie Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Pretty sobering when you think about the fact that this is a surveillance firm he’s running. Banks and consumer advocates want a limited return to robocalling         Banks and some consumer advocates, usually foes in their lobbying efforts, are both advocating for an exception to the general ban on robocalling Congress passed last year. The exception would allow robocalls in cases where the robocalls are designed to inform the public about financial relief. I think we can all anticipate the can of worms that would be opened there – give banks an inch and they’ll take a yard. Pretty soon banks will be calling you for any reason at all. Abortion via telemedicine Pam Belluck of the New York Times wrote a piece on pregnant women seeking abortions via telemedicine. A company call TelAbortion, which the F.D.A. has approved to run during the Trump administration, serves as something of a middleman between doctors and patients by facilitating telemedicine appointments and the mailing of abortion medication. Lots of questions regarding conflicts of law issues as each state has different abortion regulations. But you can find the story in the New York Times and we’ve linked to it in the show notes.

Over the past few years hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in Chattanooga. But how do we ensure that money is actually benefitting our neighbors, employing our local construction workers, improving our community, and not simply contributing to unjust outcomes in the years to come? Community Benefit Agreements, or CBAs, are one tool that communities are utilizing to make sure development has large scale community improvement outcomes. To walk us through CBAs and how they can improve life in Chattanooga I have two guests, Austing Sauerbrei of the Chattanooga Area Labor Council and Sean Paul Kimball of the local Iron Workers Union. Like our previous discussion on Area Plans, CBAs are another tool for our community to build a more sustainable and resilient future. But like Area Plans, CBAs require our engagement in order to improve our community, they require you to get involved. Hopefully this conversation will inspire just that.
