Sue Popkin wrote the new book, “Moving to Opportunity: The Story of an American Experiment to Fight Ghetto Poverty.” She joins us along with Lydia Grayson, who took advantage of the “Moving to Opportunity” program to get out of New York City in an effort to find a safer environment for her children.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
