Host of We The Unhoused, Theo Henderson, joins the podcast to talk about the displacement because of the Los Angeles Fires, how the climate crisis will not be a great class equalizer, and the ways the city reacted vs. how the community did. Criminalizing homelessness is not the answer. Empathy and preparedness is.
