Los Angeles, California, US – Theo Henderson, host and creator of the podcast We The Unhoused, was sitting in a park in Los Angeles when a nearby resident called police and around a dozen officers arrived.

Henderson, who was unhoused at the time, felt a mix of emotions: “My first thing was fear, because I’m a Black man and I’ve had negative experiences with the police, and knowing my life could be taken over just me raising my voice or doing something to upset them,” he told Al Jazeera.
