About this episode

The episode discusses the struggles of immigrant families facing eviction in Chicago and the smooth management of May Day by CPS.

A new report shines light on how immigrant families in Chicago continue to suffer months after the height of Operation Midway Blitz. Many families are struggling to find consistent work, are behind on rent, and are at risk of eviction. Host Jacoby Cochran and creative producer Michelle Navarro look over the report’s findings. Plus, it seems that May Day went down pretty smoothly for CPS, and we’ve got some of our favorite places to take the kiddos in our lives.
