KPFA - Making Contact episodes

April 07, 2017 “Not Throw Away Women: Black and Indigenous Women Disrupt Violence” ENCORE
[1]On today’s show we’re exploring how some women have been dehumanized to the point of indifference. We’ll learn how one community is undoing the silence around the violence women of color face. We’ll also hear about how serial killers were able to hunt down mostly Black women for three decades in South Los Angeles. Then we’ll take you to the Yucatan where pregnant indigenous women struggle under a health care system failing to provide proper medical care.
Featuring:
Rochelle Robinson, Making Contact Fellow; Kimberly Smith; Gabrielle Rae Travis, Her Resilience Community Outreach Coordinator; Margaret Prescod founder of Black Coalition Fighting Back Serial Murders and host of KPFK’s Sojourner Truth; Mirna Aracely Tuz Acosta, Safe Maternity for the Indigenous Population in East Yucatan; and Neyi Amparo Cime Arceo, resident of Xanlah.

March 31, 2017 Conscience and Dissent: Values in Media
Independent journalism has been the site to locate incisive analysis and perspectives typically passed over by the hegemony established by mainstream, corporate media. Speaking truth to power is a phrase often spoken, and arguably, a central tenet to independent journalism, and community produced media. A network of community media outlets gathered to assess and collaborate for The Media Consortium conference that took place in Washington DC to discuss the role independent media plays in today’s contentious media landscape.
Special thanks to the panelists, The Media Consortium, Jo Ellen Kaiser, Manolia Charlotin, Paul Stewart.

February 10, 2017 11 Million Undocumented: A Look at Sanctuary and Immigration Policy in the Trump Era
Eleven million. That’s the estimated number of people living in the U-S who are undocumented. During his first weeks in office President Donald Trump signed orders to build a border wall, ban travel from countries with largely Muslim populations, and deny federal funds to sanctuary cities and states. In this show we’ll look to previous administrations to see how they treated people who were undocumented, and how immigrant movements of the past responded.
Featuring:
Father Richard Estrada, sanctuary movement; Angelica Salas, Director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA); Mizue Aizeki, Deputy Director of the Immigrant Defense Project; Ghita Schwarz, staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights; Carlos Alvarez, education and immigration activist
