While half of the homeless population in Minnesota is under the age of 24, the fastest growing population of homeless are seniors.Legislators keep up with these numbers and demographics to make policies and programs to support the health of homeless people, to get them housed, and to prevent people from losing housing in the first place.That is where the Minnesota Homeless Study comes in. Every three years in October, volunteers across the state survey 10,000 people without homes over 24 hours. Michelle Decker Gerrard leads this huge endeavor as a senior research manager at Wilder Foundation with the help of volunteers like Dave Schultz, who dedicated his life before retirement to shaping the social system in Minnesota for unhoused people. He worked with the Minnesota Department of Human Services and taught about homelessness at Metropolitan State University. MPR News host Cathy Wurzer passed the mic to Decker Gerrard and Schultz for a deep dive on the study, which is scheduled to happen Oct. 26 for the first time since 2018 after being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.Correction (Sept. 26, 2023): An earlier version of this story misspelled Dave Schultz's name.Subscribe to the Minnesota Now podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert had a big night out at the theater in Denver this past weekend, complete with vaping, loud singing, and being escorted out.

Rep. Annessa Hartman (D-Gladstone) and Rep. Emerson Levy (D-Bend) are freshmen legislators first elected in 2022. They represent two swing districts (sometimes called “purple” seats) — Hartman in Clackamas County and Levy in Central Oregon (you can listen to our interview with then-candidate Levy here). They are also both relatively young legislators, and moms of young children. In this episode, we discuss the impact of running for office and public service on family, what it's like running in ultra-competitive districts, and the policy wins they are most proud of.

Georgia State Senator Colton Moore is trying to get enough signatures to call a special session to review the actions of Anti-Trump Prosecutor Fani Willis. Moore says regardless of whether you like Donald Trump, we should never have a D.A. going after their political opponents with nonsense charges. Moore says Willis is a domestic threat to the U.S. Constitution, the Republic, and the state of Georgia. Legislators have a choice. They can either side with the Communist rogue D.A. or they can side with the rule of law and the Constitution and do their job to defund this District Attorney. Moore points out unlike other indictments Trump is facing, Willis took this to the extreme by adding RICO charges. Georgia has a GOP controlled Legislature yet all these elected officials want to sit on their hands and do nothing. This is the most urgent thing that could be done in Georgia right now, ending Willis' use of tax dollars to politically persecute political opponents. This isn't about the 2020 election, it's about the 2024 election and every election thereafter. GUEST: GEORGIA STATE SEN.

Finalist #8 in the Book Review Contest [This is one of the finalists in the 2023 book review contest, written by an ACX reader who will remain anonymous until after voting is done. I'll be posting about one of these a week for several months. When you've read them all, I'll ask you to vote for a favorite, so remember which ones you liked] There is widespread agreement among philosophers, political commentators, and the general public that transparency in government is an unalloyed good. Louis Brandeis famously articulates the common wisdom: “Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman” (page 1). Support for transparency is bipartisan. On his first day in office, Barack Obama said “My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government.” (page 1). On the Republican National Committee's website, one reads “Republicans believe that transparency is essential for good governance. Elected officials should be held accountable for their actions in Washington, D.C.” (page 2) And so it is. Legislators' votes are published and stored in public online databases, their deliberations are televised, and their every action is extensively documented. https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/your-book-review-secret-government
A bill banning caste-based discrimination in California workplaces is moving through the state legislature after the emergence of several high profile discrimination claims in Silicon Valley's South Asian community. The claims were brought by Dalits, the most oppressed class in the social hierarchy determined by birth, who say they faced blatant prejudice from coworkers, and were punished when they tried to speak out. Opponents of the bill question the prevalence of caste discrimination in the United States and say the legal focus fuels negative stereotypes of South Asians and Hindus. We'll talk to the lawmaker who wrote the bill and members of the South Asian community fighting for and against the law. Guests: Aisha Wahab, State Senator, from Hayward, CA Sonia Paul, independent journalist covering caste in the United States; producer, audio documentary for BBC, "The Hidden Caste Codes of Silicon Valley" Prem Pariyar, human relations commissioner, Alameda County Suhag Shukla, executive director and co-founder, Hindu American Foundation

Our guest today is Dr. John Lott. Dr. Lott is the President of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), which is a research and education organization dedicated to providing an objective and accurate scientific evaluation of both the costs and benefits of gun ownership as well as policing activities. He is a world-recognized expert on guns and crime and the author of a number of books including "More Guns, Less Crime" and his latest "The War On Guns: Arming Yourself Against Gun Control Lies". 1) People who want more legal restrictions on Responsibly Armed Citizens have been peddling the phrase “Guns are the leading cause of death in children”. You recently posted some research results that show that to be a false claim. Let's dig into the reasons why that is false. - Some reports use stats for ages 3-24 - there is a spike in the ages of 15-16 and particularly for black males - reports use all deaths involving firearms (including suicides and justifiable self-defense homicides) 2) We all want to save lives and make our communities safer. The Gun-Control Advocates claim that raising the age of gun-ownership to 21 will be the magic to do just that. Based on your research, will that change in the law really save lives? 3) California Governor Newsom is pushing for an Amendment to the US Constitution to restrict Gun Rights. Does his proposal make any sense to the stated goal of saving lives? • Raising the federal minimum age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21 • Mandating universal background checks • Instituting a waiting period for all gun purchases • Barring civilian purchase of “assault weapons” 4) You recently testified at a Texas House Select Committee offering compelling information about how to effectively protect our schools – and that armed staff will save lives because they are the true immediate responders – and the Legislators simply ignored the facts and instead attacked your character. How important is it to speak up as you did even in the face of insult? 5) You made an interesting wager recently...asking Gun-Control activists to put their money where their theories are. Talk to us about that. - If Brazil's Firearm Ban Is So Great, Why Won't Gun-Control Activists Bet On It?

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has described mental health as “the defining public health crisis of our time.” He has used his position and megaphone to highlight how the country is doing and where it falls short, particularly in the treatment of young people who are suffering.

Legislators are taking note; but is it enough? Equal Time host Mary C. Curtis speaks with Julie Scelfo, executive director of Get Media Savvy, a nonprofit initiative devoted to fighting media chaos and fostering media literacy, about what is needed from policymakers and the public to tackle the youth mental health crisis and rebuild “our civic fabric.”
