As part of an assignment for the Advanced Reporting for Social Journalism class at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York, this audio slideshow captures Houston explaining the importance of lobbying and mobilizing the community to push City Council to pass Intro. 1253, also known as the Dirty Buildings bill, and what it could mean for the future.
