The World’s Rupa Shenoy introduces us to three young people at her old Iowa high school: one who is an immigrant and two who are children of immigrants. They’re trying to understand how to caucus and advocate for issues important to them, while also appealing to conservatives with different priorities.
Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.
Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
