Betsy Yoon, a member of Nodutdol, a Korean diaspora organization that advocates peace, decolonization and self-determination, joins us to discuss US engagement with North Korea over the last four years.

Chris Thomas, top soldier, community mentor, and a violence interrupter and Teresa Lundy, communications strategist and principal at TML Communications, joins us to discuss Joe Biden’s latest executive orders regarding private prisons; and Austin, Texas redirecting money from police to housing.
