Summary:  Broadus reports "live" on-the-scene at the UWC-USA campus where the annual CROPWalk (Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty) is being held to benefit our local food banks, soup kitchens, and food banks elsewhere. We interview 3 UWC-USA students who volunteer at our local Las Vegas, NM soup kitchen. Jalila discusses the research she did on hunger in NM. The second topic we discuss is elections and how some of our local youth are getting involved at the grassroots level in elections by canvassing to register voters.
