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 Carrie Lewis, Ry Feder Pruett, and Liz Darrow, who do all of the recording and engineering, as well as KMRE, our local non profit public radio station. You can access archived episodes (soon to be added to the podcast) at http://www.foodjustice.org/community-voz-radio

CV S8 Ep 16 Moving Toward an Immigrant Resource Center
For many years, C2C has been advocating for a city funded Immigrant Resource Center. On Monday, May 9th, representatives from the Immigration Advisory Board presented to the city council Committee of the Whole for the first time on the need for an immigrant resource center in our community . Following that presentation, the council voted 6-0 to move the Immigrant Resource Center forward. In this episode, members of the sub-committee to establish an Immigrant Resource Center talk about the process of getting to this point, and the work that remains to be done.

CV S8 Ep 11: Who Crafts the Narrative?
While C2C and FUJ were supporting workers on the strike line in Skagit Valley in late March, the Ag Industry wasted no time weaving new tales about the nefarious reasons for unions and farmworker advocacy. In this episode, Brenda Bentley, Rosalinda Guillen, and Liz Darrow talk about the reasons behind carefully crafted anti-worker propaganda and also offer a sneak peak into their own reasons for organizing (spoiler alert: it's not about money).
