FUNDED! A Podcast & Community Discussion Series on Criminalization
 KBOO has received a grant from Oregon Humanities to create a podcast with two community groups that will explore criminalization-the process by which behaviors and individuals in our communities are transformed into criminal activities and criminals. We will be starting conversations by bringing together a diverse group of people to listen to podcasts and discuss the issues addressed. Participants will add to the dialogue by sharing their own experiences.
