    Hands Off My Reproductive Rights

    Over the last couple of years, we have witnessed a deliberate erosion of our freedoms, and now it's clear that women's health and access to appropriate health choices are in question.  On May 2nd, an initial draft majority opinion was leaked showing that the Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe w. Wade, the court case that 50 years ago guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights but the leak has led to widespread concern nationwide about the decline in reproductive rights in recent years. Today we want to use our podcast to try and understand the implications this will have for women in the labor force and how access to healthcare, contraceptives, preventative care, and birth control impact working families.

    S2E1 - ¡Sí pudimos! The victory against Chlorpyrifos

    The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recent decision to ban the use of Chlorpyrifos in agriculture is a monumental victory for Latino farmworkers, many of whom were forced to handle this toxin on a regular basis to maintain their livelihood. In this episode, we review the history of this struggle, discuss what our victory means for our comunidad, and talk about the next steps we’ll need to take to protect workers from this dangerous chemical. We also take the opportunity to reflect on the role of Latino trade unionists in eliminating workplace hazards like Chlorpyrifos and the opportunities and limitations that come with a legal advocacy approach.   Featuring: Iris Figueroa, Farmworker Justice Andrea Delgado, UFW Foundation Raul García, Earthjustice Hosts: Jose Vargas, Executive Director, LCLAA Pablo Stein, Director of Communications and Policy, LCLAA
