We’re a few months into the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. But who’s getting them? And does the distrust of the American healthcare system in our communities prevent us from getting vaccinated? Communities of color have a long history of being mistreated, experimented upon, and ignored by healthcare professionals. Now with more vaccines becoming available, how can we educate our communities on the benefits of and where to get access to vaccines? The crew is joined by Reuben Moore, President and Executive Officer of Minnesota Community Care.
On this episode of Counter Stories, we talk about the importance of our elders and how we can combat anti-Asian violence against them. Plus, we introduce a new collaborative project with KMOJ, Ampers and some of our crew members called Racial Reckoning: The Arc of Justice.
Guests: Chanida Phaengdara Potter, Executive Director of The SEAD Project.
Public Media, notoriously a white-led institution, has a race problem. It lacks diverse voices and equitable work environments. And it hasn’t improved in the last 50 years. The crew is joined by veteran reporter and former co-host Marianne Combs on the recently published article that was co-signed by more than 200 journalists.

The Counter Stories crew talk about the anxiety that we are all facing during this pandemic and how that impacts the media we are taking in and the activities we partake in our homes. From rewatching comfortable classics to cleaning house, we’re all just trying to maintain control.
WHAT IS COUNTER STORIES?
We discuss race, identity, social justice and culture in a region grappling with demographic changes

The crew is also joined by parent and educator Daniel Perez, and takes comments from our listeners.
