Central Valley Journalism Collaborative

A new series of stories in The Intersection from the Central Valley Journalism Collaborative highlight the challenges public and nonprofit agencies in Stockton are facing amid the Trump administration's ongoing funding cuts. Vivienne Aguilar is the health equity reporter at The Intersection and she joins us to share her reporting. We’ll also hear how increased anti-immigrant harassment has impacted the work these agencies do. 

The Central Valley Journalism Collaborative is a partner of CapRadio.

Yocha Dehe Fire Department

The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation is in the heart of Yolo County’s Capay Valley. A beautifully remote area, which can mean long wait times in emergency response. About 20 years ago, the tribe set out to create a top-tier fire department. Fast forward to today, it has evolved to become the only internationally-accredited Native American fire department  - and recently provided mutual aid to the wildfires across the Los Angeles area. Yocha Dehe Fire Chief Shawn Kinney joins Insight about the road to becoming a state-of-the-art agency.

InkStravaganza

That is the mission of an event this weekend where the next generation of storytellers are in the spotlight. 916 Ink is Sacramento’s arts-based creative writing and literacy nonprofit and their annual Inkstravaganza is an evening of food, literary-themed drinks and listening to student authors reading original poetry and prose.
