Farmworkers Caravan to Mexico City.
A group of members of the independent farmworkers union recently formed in agroindustry’s enclave of San Quintin, begin a national caravan to mark the second anniversary of a major labor strike that paralyzed the fields in this rich valley in Northern Mexico. They are also drawing attention to their fight to raise wages and better benefits for the indigenous field laborers.
Guest: Fidel Sánchez, President, Alianza de Organizaciones Nacional, Estatal y Municipal por la Justicia Social, San Quintin, MX; Lorenzo Rodriguez Jiménez, General Secretary, Sindicato Independiente Nacional Democrático de Jornaleros Agrícolas, San Quintín, MX.
In the Footsteps of the Magon Brothers. This is a conversation with Diego Flores Magón, the great grandson of Mexican Revolution pioneering activist and journalist Enrique Flores Magón.

He tells the story of La Casa de El Hijo del Ahuizote, the archive and museum that preserves the memory of the Magon brothers.
Guest: Diego Flores Magón, Founder and Director, La Casa de El Hijo del Ahuizote, Fresno, CA.
