In this episode, Jordy Coutin sits down with Jane Nguyen, co-founder of Ktown for All, UCLA Activist-in-Residence, and Campaign Manager for Kenneth Mejia’s 2020 bid for LA City Controller, to talk about how cities use homeless encampment sweeps as a policy tool. They talk about both the monetary cost of sweeps and their consequences for unhoused residents as well as recent actions taken by LA organizations to support unhoused residents amidst compounding crises. 

 

This interview was originally conducted in September of 2020.
