Uvalde Mothers Speak Up.
After families from Uvalde protested, members of the powerful NRA in Texas canceled plans to raffle an AR-15 rifle, the type of weapon that a shooter used to massacre children at a local elementary school. An activist mother from Uvalde talks about this development, about local threats against one of the mothers, and about their efforts to have a say on gun laws.

March from Delano to Sacramento. Farm workers are entering today their third County in a 24-day march to the state capitol in Sacramento to push for a bill that would give farmworkers the choice of voting by mail in union elections.
