Previous Episode: Jeremy, Looking to Regain Health on Streets After Heart Attacks
Michael Carson said he had a turnaround in 2020, with the pandemic and the murder of George Floyd. Seeking guidance from mentors, he is now taking it upon himself to help create a better world, including in northern Nevada. If there’s a sweep going on, he tries to be on the scene doing a Facebook live, to show the community what’s happening. He’s also organized community cleanups along the Truckee River and started a food pantry on his front porch. Our reporter for this episode is Richard Bednarski.
