David Wessel's book, "Only the Rich Can Play," exposes the 2017 Opportunity Zone tax break. Intended to aid underserved communities, this initiative, passed with little scrutiny, primarily benefited wealthy areas like the Las Vegas Strip, allowing investors to avoid capital gains taxes.

Wessel's analysis details the program's failures and limited successes, offering lessons for better design. Join David Wessel (@davidmwessel) and Lenny Mendonca for an in-depth discussion on this system, which Wessel argues keeps the rich richer. This event was presented by The Commonwealth Club of California.

David Meslin, a Community Catalyst, explores why more people don't engage in local politics, despite its direct impact on their lives through issues like schools, zoning, and elections.

Meslin argues that this lack of involvement isn't apathy. Instead, he identifies it as a complex "web of barriers" that actively reinforce disengagement. He advocates for collaborative efforts to dismantle these obstacles.

Kahea Pacheco (Kanaka ʻŌiwi) is a passionate advocate for Indigenous rights AND climate justice. She champions the concept of aloha 'āina (love of the land), believing that effective solutions to the climate crisis are rooted in time-tested Indigenous knowledge.

As Co-Executive Director at Women's Earth Alliance—a 19-year-old global initiative that empowers women to protect the environment—Kahea works to ensure a just AND thriving world. She notes that in 'Ōlelo Hawai'i, the word <'āina (land) also means "that which feeds us" AND was used by her ancestors to mean "family," reinforcing the view that the natural world is a living, nurturing member of our community.
