News Roundtable | Race And Homelessness | Jordan Cove Pipeline

We get opinions and analysis on some of the biggest news of the week with Beth Slovic, Jason Conger and Barbara Dudley. 

Nearly 80% of the people experiencing homelessness in the U.S. are people of color, though they make up only 30% of the general population. A national public health firm has set out to figure out why, and they’re coming to Portland looking for answers. Marc Dones is a project director at the Center for Social Innovation, which has already done this research in 6 cities across the US.

Klamath Tribes Chairman Don Gentry recently wrote in a New York Times op-ed that the proposed Jordan Cove Pipeline could destroy tribal grave sites and could be the “next Standing Rock.” He joins us for more details.
