Making Contact
"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.
On this edition of Making Contact, we go from Cape Town, South Africa to Los Angeles and Oakland, California– three cities grappling with evictions, displacement, and homelessness.
