Community Voz
Community Voz is C2C's ecofeminist radio show which presents the grassroots work that local people are doing across intersecting movements. Our radio shows are engaging conversations about issues and news you probably won't hear anywhere else. We believe in community radio and alternative media, which highlights the character, beauty and courage of the voices of people on the ground. Tune in for reflections and report backs from C2C organizers and allies on the frontlines of the struggle for farmworker justice. We are extremely grateful to the talents being volunteered by Elias Lopez, Ana Sofia Garcia, and Liz Darrow, who do all of the recording and engineering, as well as KMRE, our local non profit public radio station.

CV S8 Ep 1 Kill the Bill: Anti Farmworker Legislation and What You Can Do About It
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome to Season 8! The legislative session just opened in Washington State and already Republicans and Democrats have introduced a bill which would erode overtime for farmworkers, on the first working day that the new overtime law went into effect. Rosalinda Guillen, Edgar Franks, Lelo Juarez and Liz Darrow talk about why this bill must die before it gets a hearing and how you can help make that happen.
Also in this episode: an update on flood relief, Lelo's inaugural Immigration Advisory Board meeting, and which movies we think you should add to your watch list.
Contact Chairman of the Labor and Workforce Development Committee, Mike Sells, and tell him not to give this bill a hearing:
