On the third episode of the Defying Gentrification podcast, I, your host Kristen Jeffers (she/they), spell out why we need to treat gentrification like a disease and eradicate it.
But first, on our street corner, the hot topic is the need to call in our Black siblings who think that verbal transit and street harassment, especially the queer antagonistic kind is ok, the need to care for our communities over policing them when they err in this manner and why we should continue to support public transportation, not eradicate it in these moments.
