Host Taylor Weech interviews three activists from Pasco, WA about their growing organization, Tri-Cities Community Solutions: Bertha “Alicia” Coria, Jeremy Peterson, and Christine Tucker. Their grassroots activism stems from the February 2015 police killing of Antonio Zambrano-Montes and continues as a search for justice. The prosecutor recently failed to charge any of the involved officers. Discussion of the Zambrano-Montes case, racialized violence and segregation in the Tri Cities, police brutality solutions across the nation, and much more.
