This podcast episode is part of a special collaboration between Michigan in Color and Groundcover News. Read the rest of the joint issue here.
This episode of Pass the MiC is a special collaboration with Groundcover, a non-profit street newspaper! Executive Producers Aman and Eesha sit down with Groundcover Managing Director Lindsay Calka and a vendor who sells newspapers, James Tennant. We talk about what Groundcover is, their experiences with it and what homelessness looks like on campus, especially as it affects those at Groundcover.
This collaboration is part of a larger one with Michigan in Color, so please check out their articles with Groundcover here.
If you’d like to learn more about Groundcover, please check out their website here or visit their Linktree!
If you’d like to visit in person, support Groundcover beyond buying the newspaper or would also like to volunteer, Groundcover is located at 423 S. 4th Avenue at the Bethlehem United Church of Christ. You can also visit their getting involved web page or contact them via email.
Please be sure to check out their newspapers from various street vendors around Ann Arbor, including our friend James outside Nickels Arcade!
