Rape Recovery Center on prevention and eliminating shame for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Plus, SLC Mayor announces new tiny home village with The Other Side Academy, Better Utah Institute drops cool new tools for grassroots activists and community builders, and #PoetryStillHappens with Willy Palomo.

Tonight's lineup:

Comments from Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall and The Other Side Academy’s Joseph Grenny at a press conference today where they announced the formation of a partnership to create a tiny home village. The mayor and Grenny hope to tap federal funds from President Biden’s American Resource Plan to develop the village.
