Rent Assistance For LA Residents Affected By Covid-19 RENT ASSISTANCE - Financial experts say it’s a good plan to have some cash set aside for emergencies and most recommend having at least 6 weeks take-home pay saved up for those unpredictable things like unforeseen home or car repairs, or temporary job losses due to layoffs or illness. But according to the researchers with the financial services firm JP-Morgan / Chase and Company – less than 2/3rds of America’s families don’t have an adequate “rainy-day fund” . And thanks to the Coronavirus... Read More Red River Radio Spotlight: PrizePalooza is coming this Sunday!!! Airs Thursday, July 16, 2020, at 12 noon.

Read MorePresident Trump downplayed the danger of the coronavirus, claiming in an interview that aired Sunday that many cases are simply people who "have the sniffles." "Many of those cases are young people that would heal in a day," Trump said in the interview with Fox News Sunday. "They have the sniffles, and we put it down as a test." He added that many of those sick "are going to get better very quickly." A large gathering of protesters turned out in Portland, Ore., on Saturday for a 52nd straight night of demonstrations against police violence and racism. Many of the protesters gathered at the Multnomah County Justice Center and the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse downtown. Earlier in the day, a fence was erected around the federal courthouse. By 9:45 p.m., demonstrators began dismantling the fence and chanting slogans. "Rip apart the defectors, the traitors and the human trash," demonstrators wearing masks and standing in neat rows shouted at a rally in Nampo, North Korea, last month, state media reported. Similar demonstrations took place around the country last month, aiming to signal dismay at South Korea for allowing defectors to send propaganda leaflets, often floated on balloons, over the border to criticize North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Civil rights icon and longtime Georgia Congressman John Lewis has died after a battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was 80 years old. The son of Alabama sharecroppers, Lewis was a central figure in the key civil rights battles of the 1960s, including the Freedom Rides and the Selma to Montgomery voting rights march. There's a lot Andy Tu was looking forward to as a freshman at Claremont McKenna College, a small private college in California. He imagined having intellectual debates on the quad and meeting "highly motivated, open-minded friends." Coming from an environment that's "intolerant of unconventional ideas," he says he was looking forward to being able to express himself freely on campus. He'd even been daydreaming about learning how to surf. But every morning he wakes up at home in Shanghai, he feels like that iconic American freshman year is slipping further and further away. The Black Lives Matter movement has changed the country and shifted conversations about police, social justice and structural racism. Nowhere is the impact as great as it is for Black families, especially those with children. NPR spoke with five couples about how their family conversations have changed and how they try to support and inform their children in the face of police violence and racism. So many of us do it: You get into bed, turn off the lights, and look at your phone to check Twitter one more time. You see that coronavirus infections are up. Maybe your kids can't go back to school. The economy is cratering. Still, you incessantly scroll though bottomless doom-and-gloom news for hours as you sink into a pool of despair. Intelligence Squarer U.S. Debates: Is Nationalism a Force for Good? Airs Sunday, July 19, 2020, at 6 p.m. From Brexit to “America First,” Modi in India, Erdogan in Turkey, and Bolsonaro in Brazil, nationalism – or allegiance to a nation-state over other affiliations – is on the rise. With the coronavirus pandemic closing borders, the future of global governance and political identity is in question. Nationalism can unite disparate communities under a common identity. Nationalism can also incite anti-immigration policies, promoting violence based on ethnicity....

Read More Pandemic ER: Notes from a Nurse in Queens Airs Sunday, July 26, 2020 at 7 p.m. - War correspondents are charged with reporting from the frontlines. Putting themselves in risky situations, documenting, and sharing what they see for those of us who are not there to see it for ourselves. Kate O'Connell is a radio producer and a registered nurse who lives and works in New York City, where the coronavirus hit with force from March 2020 - May 2020. In addition to working in an ER in Queens, Kate has also been chronicling her experiences with the overwhelming reality of this pandemic. This program is an audio diary of her experience during the height of the pandemic in New York City, a moving reflection during these most difficult moments. About the experience, Kate says, "Honestly, coming home and writing about what I was seeing was torture. Re-living the scenes I had just left, each story reminded me of a real person, often a person who had just spent their last minutes of life with me and a small band of dedicated strangers, who for all our training could not SAVE THEIR LIFE. Despite the difficulties, Kate stuck with it and steadily sent dispatches over six weeks. We've featured Kate’s audio letters on Transom and in our podcast all along and have now compiled them into an hour for public radio stations, produced with Samantha Broun. We can't say this is an easy listen, but it's an important one. We're grateful to Kate for doing this so that the rest of us might hear and know what we otherwise wouldn't be able to. Since the original release of this audio diary. Read More Young Artist Competition 2020 - Postponed until fall 2020 Our young artist competition has been postponed until fall 2020.

COVID-19 NUMBERS -   Everyday   news reports are loaded with the latest numbers regarding Covid-19 infections, hospitalizations, ,  presumed-recoveries and deaths.  These numbers can either be illuminating or confusing depending on how they’re presented and interpreted.  Social media is loaded with discussions and debates over which numbers are significant when considering the severity of outbreaks.    But some numbers are better indicators than others, three numbers in particular. TEXAS COVID-19 SURGE -  Texas has surpassed 10,000 new coronavirus cases in a single day for the first time as a resurgence of the outbreak rages across the U.S. The record high of 10,028 confirmed cases in the Lone Star State Tuesday follows Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision to mandate masks in much of the state and to close bars, retreating from what had been one of America’s fastest  reopenings. TEXAS COVID-19 SINGLE DAY SPIKE - Texas reported almost 5500 positive Covid-19 cases yesterday, a new record high for a single day.  A retiring Republican Congressman from Texas is concerned about the surge of COVID-19 cases, especially in his district.  Pete Olson said during a U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing Tuesday, he is worried about the rising number of 20 to 39-year-olds getting the virus.                      ARK COVID-19 -  Arkansas has seen its largest single-day increase in new coronavirus cases among non-incarcerated people.     Gov.

An additional six deaths from COVID-19 increased the state’s death toll to over 200.   Speaking in his daily briefing, Hutchinson explained the State Department of Health’s Guidelines that strongly recommend people wear face-mask protection in the workplace and in public as doing so would reduce community spread of the disease.  Red River Radio Vehicle Donation Program The Vehicle Donation Program provides Vehicle Donation Services to Public Radio stations across the country.
