YWCA Executive Director Miriam Barnett joins host Evelyn Lopez to talk about the upswing in domestic violence during the COVID 19 pandemic, and the particular challenges of helping victims who may be isolated at home with their abusers.
Also, the YWCA is moving toward completion of an beautiful housing project in Tacoma. Over 50 low income (really low income) apartments will be available in 2021 in downtown Tacoma with access to YWCA programs. This is a game changer for our city. We have been so fortunate to have Miriam’s vision and drive moving this project forward.
We also talk about the Black Lives Matter protests in Tacoma, and the extremely disturbing response from the police unions to Mayor Woodard’s call for accountability and answers on the death of Manny Ellis in Tacoma Police custody. Please listen, and send us your thoughts.
