1 Free RANGE 11.28 — Friends, rent protections, community-connected journalism and other reasons to be thankful 54:37
Welcome to our very special Thanksgiving episode of Free RANGE, where Luke and Erin convened a panel of local notables Joni Harris, Sara Dixit and Kai Teo — a cook, an organizer and a data journalist, respectively, to discuss the political disconnection felt right now by working people in Spokane and one idea the nerds at RANGE have had to try to help struggling renters feel more protected by and connected to community: Political Engagement Challenges Working-class individuals often feel disconnected from political processes Service industry workers face scheduling barriers to traditional civic participation Many people are unaware of local political developments that affect them directly There's a perception that political engagement doesn't lead to material improvements Renter Rights Web Tool Concept Proposed tool would allow renters to check if landlords are registered and compliant with local laws Features could include: Form letters for renters to use when communicating with landlords Explanations of next steps if landlords don't comply City Council contact information for further assistance Optional data collection on rent prices and housing conditions Tool aims to provide tangible benefits while potentially increasing civic engagement Outreach Strategies Utilize existing community spaces and events (e.g., bars, trivia nights) Create physical flyers and place them strategically around the city Partner with local businesses to display information Host launch parties or social events to introduce the tool Leverage word-of-mouth and personal networks for distribution Building Community and Solidarity Focus on creating "third spaces" that are neither work nor home Avoid demonizing those with different political views Recognize the importance of coalition-building in worker movements Address root causes of political disengagement rather than symptoms Next Steps Develop the renter rights web tool with suggested features Plan outreach strategy using multiple channels (events, flyers, partnerships) Consider hosting a launch party or series of events to introduce the tool Explore ways to create more "third spaces" for community building in Spokane…

Behold the first episode of RANGE's new radio show, Free RANGE, produced at KYRS Thin Air Community Radio. Hosts Luke Baumgarten and Erin Sellers are joined by Aaron Hedge to talk about the week in news.
Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD) is amid a months long process to determine if it should privatize its treatment services division, which currently serves 1,000 patients, connecting them with methadone and mental health services to manage opioid addiction. The process, which began last spring has been a tense one led by SRHD Administrative Officer Dr. Alicia Thompson. Thompson recently completed Phase One of the Feasibility Study, which is what they're calling the process to determine if the division should move forward towards privatization. During phase one, Thompson gathered and analyzed feedback from a variety of stakeholders, including patients, employees, and service providers identifying the impacts privatization could have on them. At the September board meeting, Thompson presented her findings and two separate recommendations: One to end the process now and keep the division, establishing a designated fund for it within SRHD to ensure it can save and invest money in its future to grow. And another to continue the process and start looking into the legal ramifications and physical process of converting the division to private or selling it off to a private provider. The board of health was scheduled to vote on those recommendations during the September board meeting, but after community feedback against privatization and a robust discussion among board members, they decided to postpone the ultimate decision until the October board meeting, which is set for Thursday, October 31. Prior to the September board meeting, we sat down for a Q&A with Susie Saunders, the representative of Protec 17 , the union for SRHD’s Treatment Services Employees. We asked Saunders to weigh in on the potential privatization of the division and what it could mean for employees. What follows is that conversation lightly edited for clarity and time.…
