June Episode of Palisades Podcast to Feature Jessica Rogers | Pacific Palisades
The June episode of Palisades Podcast, slated to release Saturday, June 19, will feature Pacific Palisades Residents Association President Jessica Rogers, a 14-year resident of the community.
“With the confluence of her election this year as president of the PPRA and [Councilmember] Mike Bonin’s proposed homeless encampment at Will Rogers State Beach,” wrote podcast host Steve Cron, “Jessica burst onto the scene as a fierce and omnipresent spokesperson against Bonin’s proposal.”
Since then, Rogers has been seen on local television stations, at opposition rallies and in videos circulating social media, Cron said.
“Please listen in to this month’s episode of the Palisades Podcast to learn about the life and transformation of Jessica Rogers from social worker and mom to community activist,” Cron concluded.
The episode will be available at palipost.com/palipodcast.
