Following a contract lapse into the new year, the City of Atlanta has entered into a multi-year agreement with Policing Alternatives & Diversion Initiative (PAD). The nonprofit organization offers wraparound services to people experiencing extreme poverty, substance use and mental health disorders. Moki Macias, the executive director of PAD, and her client, David Lee, talk with Rose about the PAD program, the new contract and what’s next for the organization.
Plus, we revisit Rose’s conversation with Anita Hill. The longtime lawyer and educator reflects on her 1991 testimony that the then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas sexually harassed her. She also talks about her ongoing fight to end gender-based violence and the inspiration behind her book, “Believing: Our Thirty-Year Journey to End Gender Violence.”
