We are happy to have back on the show Carolyn Torres, SAUSD School Board Member. Last time we had her on she was running a tough campaign but ultimately came out victorious with the help of an incredible grassroots campaign that gave her and the progressive movement a decisive victory. We'll talk to her about her experience running, lessons she learned, and talk to her about what its being on the dais and the issues that they've taken on recently including the historic vote to make ethnic studies a graduation requirement at SAUSD high schools.

We'll have on the show Rancho La Paz HOA President Lupe Ramirez.We'll talk to her about the fight that the residents living at Rancho La Paz had against the greedy mobile home park owner. As it turned out, their experience was the latest by this particular owner and growing trend across the nation in unbridled capitalism in the housing sector that was putting seniors and working class community out of their homes by unreasonable space rent increases.Tune in to learn from Lupe about her personal experience and find out what is happening currently in Sacramento to help people like her and her neighbors and across California.

We will have a conversation with long time community activist and co-founder of Chicanos Unidos, Albert Castillo and other members of the community about the issue of policing in Santa Ana. We will discuss what the #DefundThePolice movement could look like in Santa Ana, the Police Officers Association's heavy lobbying efforts in city elections and at City Hall, AND we'll talk about the recent history of uprisings in Anaheim and Santa Ana.

As the nation grapples with the question of how each city addresses their own police department's misconduct and corruption, this is a timely conversation given the long history of abuse of power in Santa Ana, Anaheim, and other OC cities.

Tonight! We'll have a discussion with community members who attended the recent protests in Santa Ana and around Orange County. We'll ask them what really happened and the various factors that came into play as the various protests played out. We'll also talk to the youth on the panel about the role that they play in the movement to end police brutality, systemic racism, and the criminalization of our youth in black and brown communities.
