Where we explore how people are fighting for the future of rural America and how writing it off hurts us all.
Hosted by George Goehl, To See Each Other complicates the narrative about rural and small town Americans in our most misunderstood, and often abandoned, communities. This season, George travels to Wisconsin to follow a small town fight for the future of a beloved county nursing home, setting the stage for a statewide battle to save it. Our belief: That when we see each other, we’ll understand that we can never give up on each other.
Today we're here with a special bonus story from Michigan.
This is the story of MariaElena Fournier, who lives in Detroit and who is out in the field right now traveling throughout Michigan, asking questions and holding really profound conversations - that change all the people involved.
MariaElena was born in Puerto Rico and moved to the mainland as a child. After navigating a difficult relationship with a white supremacist roommate in college, they were “bewildered” by people’s openness in rural areas when they were participating in the deep canvass — which gave them incredible hope. They shared their story with us.
