About this podcast
Host, activist and former Echo Park Neighborhood Council member, Jeremy Bowditch, invites the listener to imagine a new Los Angeles - and challenge the way we think about what is possible for ALL people living in Los Angeles.
At Everyone Eats, we believe a person’s right to their basic needs is greater than anyone's right to make a profit. Free healthcare, Free education, Public housing, Fair wages. A world without police or prisons. It’s all possible, if we fight for it, together.
Each episode we open a bottle of wine and take a look at a basic need for all Angelenos. Who has it, who goes without, why, and what can we do about it? Jeremy talks to activists, educators, advocates and people just trying to make ends meet, and together, we imagine a Los Angeles where Everyone Eats.
