b'This week the verdict came down in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer charged with killing George Floyd in an incident that sparked an uprising for racial justice and police reform. Chauvin was found guilty on all counts ahead and there are three additional officers charged with complicity in Floyd\\u2019s death. I speak with Keir Bradford Grey, formerly Philadelphia Chief Defender for the Defender Association of Philadelphia and currently a partner at the law firm Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads. We discuss the verdict and its implications for the future of police reform.

First, I speak with Julianne Schrader Ortega \\u2013 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society\\u2019s Chief of Healthy Neighborhoods about the power of horticulture to make positive social and environmental change. Schrader Ortega shares how the organization is helping support community gardens, increase access to fresh food, build meaningful social connections and provide workforce training for returning citizens.
