Coming soon online! In our second episode, Mexican-American entrepreneur and community leader Eric Kraan interviews Jessie Singer, journalist and author of “There are No Accidents: The Deadly Rise of Injury and Disaster—Who Profits and Who Pays the Price.” They explore the idea that what are often called “accidents” are not random or unavoidable events, but instead a predictable result of policy failures and inequality. Singer argues that higher injury and death rates—particularly among immigrants and low-income communities—are often the result of the conditions in which people live, such as inadequate housing and lack of access to resources.

En nuestro segundo episodio, el empresario y líder comunitario mexicoamericano Eric Kraan entrevista a Jessie Singer, periodista y autora del libro There Are No Accidents: The Deadly Rise of Injury and Disaster—Who Profits and Who Pays the Price. Juntos exploran la idea de que lo que comúnmente llamamos “accidentes” no son hechos inevitables, sino el resultado predecible de fallas en las políticas públicas y la desigualdad. Singer sostiene que las tasas más altas de lesiones y muertes, especialmente entre inmigrantes y comunidades de bajos recursos, suelen ser consecuencia directa de las condiciones en las que vive la gente y la falta de acceso a recursos.
