In the midst of an economic downturn, we speak with Ronnie Lott and Daniel Lurie of Tipping Point Community about the increasing number of Bay Area residents living in poverty — and what is being done to help. Tipping Point allocates millions of dollars annually to community organizations, and has gained national attention for its innovative grant-making techniques. In the second half hour, we talk with two comedians who believe that using humor can help change people’s minds about the Middle East conflict and bring Palestinians and Israelis together.
