TUESDAY, JUNE 16
PROGRAM # 8917 12:00 PM PT
Immigration Edition.
The Supreme Court is ready to issue a decision on DACA at any time now. Dreamers are hoping for the best but bracing for the worst case scenario. A mental health leader talks about the emotional crises that troubled immigrant youth report and the support of a network of counselors to deal with the situation of heightened stress and anxiety gripping immigrant families. A social organizer and media commentator gives his point of view on how to transform sorrow into outrage and this into citizen action, and draws parallels between the current anti-police violence protests and the pro-immigrant mega-marches of 2006, and comments on the Supreme Court decisions upholding the California sanctuary law and the civil rights of LGBT workers. And a well-known farmworker leader reports how the overcrowded, uninsured, and unprotected community of farm workers in Immokalee has become the epicenter of the Covid outbreak in Florida.
Guests: Jorge Partida, Chief of Psychology, Department of Mental Health, County of Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA; Lucas Benitez, Co-Founder, Coalition of Immokalee Workers, Immokalee, FL; Larry Kleinman, Co-Founder of PCUN, Political Commentator of Radio Poder, Woodburn, OR
