Summit of the Americas and People’s Summit.
A coalition of grassroots groups are convening what they call “A People’s Summit” in Los Angeles, in an effort to contest the agenda of the heads of state meeting in downtown LA for the Summit of the Americas. With art performance and political forums, activists discuss migrant and labor rights, food sovereignty, and climate justice, among other issues. The leader of a US coalition for immigrants expects no diplomatic push back from regional leaders to the US agenda on immigration and urges the heads of state to address the growing social inequality, stem the trend towards authoritarian practices, and tackle climate change.
Guest: Oscar Chacón, Executive Director, Alianza Americas, Los Angeles, CA.
