This Saturday will mark two years since the death of environmental activist Manuel Esteban Paez Terán. They were fatally shot by Georgia State Troopers during a reported “clearing operation” at the site of the soon-to-be Atlanta-area Police and Firefighter Training Center. While the Georgia Bureau of Investigations claims troopers fired in self-defense, the family of Paez Terán, also known as Tortuguita, have filed a lawsuit over alleged civil rights violations. To discuss their legal action, Show Host Rose Scott will be joined by one of the family attorneys, Jeff Filipovits of Spears and Filipovits, LLC.

 

For more than a week, there’s been an international effort to extinguish the multiple deadly wildfires in the Los Angeles area. Among the structures consumed by the flames are businesses and homes in the historically diverse community of Altadena, California. Now, there’s a local effort to help one of those businesses rebuild. The Little Red Hen Coffee Shop is owned by a family with Georgia roots. After 55-years of business, It was destroyed by the Eaton Fire. In Atlanta, Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours is hosting an MLK Day Brunch to raise money for The Little Red Hen Coffee Shop. Show Host Rose Scott speaks to Chef Deborah VanTrece about the fundraiser.
