- Notícias
Tired of the lack of coverage in local elections and the bias in reporting in politics, our host Camila, hopes to bring to light local issues through a non-partisan approach. We're seeking the truth and talking about the real issues that plague our community and nation, and what role we can play in solving them. The main one is just by being informed and engaging in our community, whether it be by voting if you are eligible, completing the census or doing some community service.
