To make change in civic life, use story to your advantage and "organize in narratives." To do that, host Eric Liu suggests you stir up a new sense of us. He describes us as the collective narratives of challenge, choice and purpose that define a community. In addition, Liu says it's also necessary to explain who has what and why and to awaken the hero in us all. Then, learn about a proposal to build a street food market consisting of low-income immigrant and refugee entrepreneurs. And, hear from the founder and editor of the South Seattle Emerald. He shares a compelling story of us, linked to the changing face of Columbia City and Rainier Valley.
