Two guests are featured on Political Roundtable this week.
Hunger was already a big problem in Rhode Island before the pandemic. Andrew Schiff, CEO of the RI Community Food Bank, discusses how COVID has affected the situation and what the outlook is for this winter.
Next, the Providence Preservation Society launched an initiative recently to look at preservation through a lens of racial justice.
Brent Runyon, executive director of PPS, discusses that effort, what happens when push comes to shove on gentrification, how the state can encourage more adaptive reuse of older buildings and other topics.
