Tonight, we celebrate May Day, or International Worker’s Day!

We hear from Terry Valen and Lyle Prijoles with Filipino Community Center [1]as well as Irma Shauf-Bajar with GABRIELA USA [2]. They all make connections between immigrant rights and worker rights here in the U.S. and globally.

We speak with two home care workers from Asian Immigrant Women Advocates [3] who share the unique challenges they face as immigrant domestic workers.

Diep Tran, head chef and owner of L.A. restaurant Good Girl Dinette [4] tells us how “cheap eats” lists celebrate inexpensive immigrant foods at the expense of immigrant labor.

And we talk with Zuha Khan who curated an amazing line-up of performers at El Rio this Saturday as a fundraiser [5]for Bay Area Solidarity Summer [6].
