Host, activist and former Echo Park Neighborhood Council member, Jeremy Bowditch, invites the listener to imagine a new Los Angeles - and challenge the way we think about what is possible for ALL people living in Los Angeles.
At Everyone Eats, we believe a person’s right to their basic needs is greater than anyone's right to make a profit. Free healthcare, Free education, Public housing, Fair wages. A world without police or prisons. It’s all possible, if we fight for it, together.
Each episode we open a bottle of wine and take a look at a basic need for all Angelenos. Who has it, who goes without, why, and what can we do about it? Jeremy talks to activists, educators, advocates and people just trying to make ends meet, and together, we imagine a Los Angeles where Everyone Eats.
Abolitionist organizers and industry experts explore the transformative potential of defunding police and investing in community care, revealing a more equitable future for all.

It’s Our Money: Dr. Melina Abdullah and The People’s Budget
Tens of thousands of Angelenos agree on one thing: defund the police to fund mental health and housing. L.A. spends 25¢ of every dollar on policing, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Our guest is co-founder of Black Lives Matter-Los Angeles Dr. Melina Abdullah. The People’s Budget is an annual poll of 20,000+ Angelenos revealing how the people want to spend their money. Spoiler alert: it’s not on LAPD. We compare what we really want to what city hall gives us, why they are so different, and what we can do to fight back against a runaway police budget. Discover how everyone can have everything they need and most of what they want.
