Introducing a special series from the From Where She Sits podcast - Strategies for Sanity.  

It's become clear over the past couple of weeks that we're coming to grips with a "new normal."  Christie + Izzy are interviewing guests who are on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis who can help shed some light (and maybe even some hope!) on the questions we're all having during this unprecedented time.

This week:  With over 10 million Americans now unemployed, many New Yorkers are wondering how they will make rent.  We're interviewing Meaghan Whyte, a nonprofit housing attorney here in NY, about rent strikes, public benefits, landlord communication, and more! Meg is a staff attorney at Mobilization for Justice, a civil legal services nonprofit in NYC.  At MFJ, she represents tenants in Housing, Supreme, and Federal Court in both defensive and affirmative litigation.  She is a fellow Capricorn, a self-loathing Mets fan, and a connoisseur of trashy British reality television.
