In 2022, President Biden signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, or BSCA, into law. It provides community-based programs, schools, grassroots organizations and more with funding to support efforts to keep guns out of the wrong hands, make schools safer and expand trauma-informed mental health services in underresourced communities. However, this funding is set to run out at the end of 2026, so what happens next and how could efforts funded by federal dollars be impacted? Reset sits down with Rita Oceguera, The Trace reporter and Veronica Arreola, 24th District councilor of Chicago's Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability to understand how another Trump presidency might impact gun violence prevention in Chicago.

Finding Fertile Ground Podcast: Stories of Grit, Resilience, and Connection
This week on the Finding Fertile Ground podcast, I interview Nura Elmagbari, a Muslim-American mom, wife, scientist, educator, nonprofit leader, activist, and community leader. I met Nura several years ago through my church, Spirit of Grace. Nura was our guest preacher for Mother's Day, spoke on an interfaith women's panel, brought her teen daughter to our youth group and talked about Islam, and emceed an immigrant storytelling event. Nura came to the United States as a child when her family escaped from Libya. They had to adjust to the American way of life with no support, and her mother gave birth to her baby brother shortly after they arrived in Greeley, Colorado. Now Nura has a master's degree in human biology and is principal of the Islamic School of Portland. She has founded several nonprofits to aid Muslim children, immigrants, and refugees. Nura has fought racism and prejudice all her life. She learned nobody was going to give her a chance to succeed so she had to create it for herself. And now she provides support to refugees arriving in the United States, the kind of support her family never received.She explains why she loves Islam, one thing she wishes Islam didn't forbid, why she believes Islam supports feminism, and how she has a patent for a drug she helped develop that will change the medical world and addiction to opioids.Next week on the Companies That Care podcast I interview Veronica Arreola, who is a widely published professional feminist, mom, and writer who has been working to diversify the STEM field for over 20 years. In her work at the University of Illinois-Chicago, Veronica works to ensure a supportive campus environment for Latinx students studying science. We spoke about how companies can attract and support Latinx and other employees of color in the workplace, especially in STEM environments.If you enjoyed this podcast, please give us a rating and subscribe to hear our next episode.

We often think about the words and works of Jesus, but rarely about His ways. But as we learn His ways, we discover the very heart of God. And while His ways are always good, they are nothing like our ways; while they lead to a hope-filled future, they are often filled with challenges we wouldn't choose on our own. These good-but-challenging ways of Jesus are now being seen in the lives of our associate pastors, Joel and Veronica Arreola. Listen to their story, allow their faith to stretch your own, and join with us in partnering with them in their next seasons of ministry.

Veronica is ubiquitous in the blogosphere as well as speaking at conferences this year, and our conversation covers her work in reproductive justice, the marketing of mommyblogging and her work on legislation in her home state of Illinois.
