With 2.3 million people in its jails, the US has the highest incarceration rate in the world - accounting for nearly 20% of those imprisoned globally. The communities most impacted in the US are communities of color. This episode highlights the efforts of three organizations that seek to support those re-entering society and do so in a way that reduces recidivism while ensuring dignity. We explore some of the issues, factors to keep in mind to ensure successful programming, and where there are opportunities for real change at the local level. Join co-host Thomas Rosenberg and his panel of guests for a thoughtful conversation about a topic that impacts millions of families.

Consciously developing food and fibersheds is one way to build human, social, natural and financial capital in rural communities. Mapping food and fibersheds illustrates the flow of money and materials, where value exists and the community's values, as well as existing and potential opportunities for creativity within a community. It also helps in creating a shared vision of what's possible through collaboration.

Mono-cultural organizations or communities don’t happen by accident. Neither do dynamic, diverse, inclusive cultures whether organizationally or communally.

At their earliest stage, entrepreneurs generally get funding from friends and family – those supporters culled from alumni groups, professional connections, and longstanding familial and social networks. For most entrepreneurs, this abundant and friendly pool of capital is a financial lifeline that can be the difference between a great idea and a promising startup or small business. That is, unless you’re African American. The problem, as pointed out by Runway Project founder Jessica Norwood, is that wealth in the U.S. cleanly falls along racial lines. Runway Project is a national initiative designed to change that reality for African American entrepreneurs. In this week’s show, guests Konda Mason and Annie McShiras will discuss the collaboration between Runway Project, Self-Help Federal Credit Union, and Uptima Business Bootcamp in Oakland, CA, to pilot a new financial product and investment fund that bridges the funding and support gap for African American entrepreneurs.

Even when we explore the topic of inclusion we often forget about the differently-abled. When we discuss poverty, we often disregard that disability can be both a cause and result from poverty. So how do we create an inclusive culture that actively welcomes the differently-abled? What needs to change in our (economic) development paradigms to facilitate that inclusive culture? How can we make something that works for all people regardless of what part of the world they live in? Join us as we explore these questions, Keoke's plans for Participant Assistive Products, and more.
