(ICYMI) Last week on Full Circle we shared two stories from two local communities. First, how the Antioch City Council just passed anti harassment and anti retaliation ordinances to protect tenants from negligent or abusive landlords. We also heard an interview from First Voice Graduate apprentice Sara Blanco that was a part of her time hosting the national show Flashpoints here on KPFA. She spoke with an employee of a Petaluma bookstore about how they found flyers containing hate speech placed inside books on their shelves..
