Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Immigrants Bused To Chicago From Texas Need Emergency Housing, Healthcare

Volunteers and nonprofits are meeting people as they arrive and helping to provide housing, healthcare and food. But these immigrants are in a precarious position because they can’t legally work in the country until six months after they submit their asylum application. Meanwhile, that application process requires money for legal fees, and many of the non-profits that help immigrants with this process are at capacity. Reset speaks with Laura Mendoza, immigration organizer, The Resurrection Project, Johannes Javi, director of ICDI’s Chicago Immigrant Transit Assistance program, Nicole Hallett, director, Immigrants’ Rights Clinic, University of Chicago Law School, Ed Pratt, Executive Director, Interfaith Community for Detained Immigrants, about local efforts to support migrants’ needs in the short- and long-term needs

Consider This from NPR - Britain And Its Former Colonies Debate The Monarchy’s Future After Elizabeth

For many in the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth was synonymous with the monarchy. As she's laid to rest, King Charles faces a potentially "existential" challenge in convincing the British and global public that the monarchy is a force for good, according to historian Dan Jones.

That may be a difficult task in the Commonwealth, a group of 56 countries connected in part by a history of British colonial rule. Many see the monarchy as inextricably linked to the injustices of that colonial system.

Jones talks to NPR's Rachel Martin about the Queen's legacy and the shoes Charles must now fill.

Jamaican member of Parliament Lisa Hanna explains why she believes the monarchy is at a crossroads and must use this moment to correct historical wrongs committed by the British Empire against people of the Caribbean.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
