Latinx News: Latinos Face Inequity With COVID-19, Biden's Attempt To Appeal To Latino Voters, And Spanish Colonial Statues


Listen Later

Massachusetts coronavirus cases have not spiked again like in other parts of the country, but COVID-19 numbers keep rising in predominately Latino communities. Here and across the country, Latinos are three times more at risk of being infected.

Plus, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden ramps up his campaign’s effort to increase voter turnout among Latino voters. And why are Latinos clashing over Spanish colonial statues? That and more on our Latinx roundtable.

Guests:

  • Julio Ricardo Varela – digital editor for the Futuro Media Group, co-host of the “In The Thick” podcast, and founder of Latino Rebels

  • Adriana Maestas - a southern California-based freelance writer covering Latino politics

    Massachusetts' universities and colleges have just announced fall plans outlining how they will both teach and keep students safe. This, after the unplanned mid-semester pivot to online learning, left many scrambling to find solutions to the challenges of distance learning. But the administration and faculty of Bard Microcollege Holyoke had more to consider than how to conduct classes via Zoom. The school's tiny student population is made up of young, low-income mothers working toward a better future.

    Guests:

    • Mary Anne Myers - program director of Bard Microcollege Holyoke

    • Anne Teschner - executive director at The Care Center in Holyoke, Massachusetts, where Bard Microcollege is housed

    • Jacqueline Velez - regional organizing director for Sen. Ed Markey’s re-election campaign and Bard Microcollege Holyoke 2020 graduate

    • Show Credits:
