Youth Lead The Charge In D.C.’s Climate Strike
Kojo sits down with three young organizers to talk about climate activism and this week's D.C. Climate Strike.
Commute discrimination can hurt Washingtonians who don't live near the center of the District.
A recent study discovered employers hiring for low-wage jobs in downtown D.C. are more likely to call back applicants who live nearby, effectively ignoring Washingtonians who live in Southeast and Northeast.
Kojo discusses what leads to “commute discrimination,” and how it sheds light on other issues like affordable housing, transportation deserts and more.
