On today's episode of Stateside, we discussed the Department of Defense's plans to clean up PFAS contamination at the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base; these plans come after years of Oscoda residents seeking more aid from the federal government. Next, we talked with Brandan Freeman about "Shades of the Outdoors," the Facebook group he founded to increase inclusion in outdoor spaces for people of color. Then, Julie Halpert joined us to talk about the new residential treatment space for young adults she and her husband are opening.
