Two Trials; Crowd Safety; 'Fierce Love'; A Taxi Workers Win

On today's show:

• The jury selection of two very different murder trials is underway. Elie Mystal, justice correspondent for The Nation, joins to discuss both the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, accused of killing two people and wounding a third during a Black Lives Matter protest in Wisconsin, and the trial of three white men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man who was jogging in Georgia.
• After the tragedy at the Travis Scott concert in Houston, Texas, where eight people were killed in a crowd surge, Bart Whitaker, veteran venue and event-management professional, and Mark Herrera, director of education for International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM), talk about how to stay safe in large crowds.
• Rev. Dr. Jacqueline Lewis, senior minister at Middle Collegiate Church in the East Village and the author of Fierce Love: A Bold Path to Ferocious Courage and Rule-Breaking Kindness That Can Heal the World (Harmony, 2021), offers a guide for getting past today's divisions and competition to see that we are all in this together.
• After two weeks of a hunger strike and over a month of picketing, members of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance won a better debt relief deal from the city. Medallion owners call in and talk about their organizing efforts and how it feels to win.
