To close out 2025, Theo speaks with Sam Luu and Hillary Cohen of Every Day Action. We learn how they scaled their pandemic-era mutual aid effort to feed the unhoused to where they are today, continuing that work by preventing food waste on film sets and helping out-of-work film industry professionals during the ongoing labor crisis.

Theo interviews Meg Stone, author of Don't Fight Back: And 10 Other Myths About Crime, Personal Safety, and Gender-Based Violence about how the unhoused and other marginalized people are encouraged not to defend themselves, and are frequently presented as aggressors themselves. In the field, Theo shares the findings of Los Angeles's Mutual Aid Research Collective in their new report on the unhoused community's experiences with the LA fires.
