What does it actually take to make government work for the people most affected by its decisions?
In the inaugural episode of Canary Conversations, Summer Nettles sits down with Melat Kiros for a wide-ranging discussion about healthcare, economic security, civic participation, Black solidarity, immigration, and representation.
From Medicare for All and the limits of a public option to the connection between housing, food, education, and political engagement, this conversation explores how policy decisions shape everyday life—and what meaningful representation and community accountability can look like after an election.
Canary Conversations is a weekly podcast from The Canary Report, unpacking issues that uniquely impact Black women while revealing their broader relevance to the communities around us.
