    Episode 68: For Incarcerated Individuals, Ensuring Proper Medical Care as a Right

    September 30, 2025

    Dr. Mark Fenig — Founder and Executive Director of Medical Justice Alliance, a Good People Fund grantee — describes alarming inequities and injustices in medical care afforded incarcerated individuals in the US … and how he was moved by ethics and conscience to change that reality, advocating for compassionate or medical care releases on a case by case basis. He speaks with GPF Associate Executive Director Julie Fisher.

    Ordinary Heroes with Bernie Furshpan and guest Naomi Eisenberger

    September 18, 2025

    For more than three decades, Naomi has championed small, often overlooked nonprofits — supporting visionaries who tackle hunger, homelessness, forced marriage, cancer treatment, and more with creativity and compassion. Naomi shares powerful stories, from Unchained At Last — helping women escape forced and child marriages — to The Lemonade Fund in Israel, providing financial lifelines to women battling cancer. With over $35 million raised and more than 250 programs supported in the U.S. and Israel, Naomi shows how ordinary people can create extraordinary impact. This is a conversation about resilience, humanity, and the power of good people working together to change the world.

    Episode 67: The Toll of Xenophobia

    August 26, 2025

    Refugees, asylees and immigrants — and grassroots organizations providing them with critical services and community — are challenged as never before as xenophobia and official policies create an increasingly oppressive environment.

    Shoshana Barzel of New Neighbors Partnership, Kristen Bloom of Refugee Assistance Alliance, and Kari Miller of International Neighbors lead Good People Fund-supported organizations navigating this evolving reality. The three social visionaries speak with GPF Executive Director Naomi Eisenberger about what they are seeing, how they are pivoting … and why we all must pay attention.
