Description

"Let’s talk Arcata! On this week’s episode of Humboldt Holding Up — LoCO’s lo-fi, “why not?” podcast — we speak with Emily Goldstein, who was elected to the Arcata City Council at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and is one of the city’s four new councilmembers sworn in since December. Topics include:

• Why Goldstein sees approving and building more housing as a top priority for Arcata
• Our region’s ongoing mental health crisis
• Campaigning in the middle of a global pandemic
• Recent anti-LGBTQ incidents in the city and the community’s response
• Her day job as a health policy coordinator
• How a warm interaction on her first day in Arcata kicked off her love for the city
• More!"
