  • Sojourner Truth Radio: June 5, 2019 - Mexico Tariffs, Sex Workers, California Act to Save Lives
    Today on Sojourner Truth:
    Trump intends to impose tariffs on all goods coming from Mexico, despite opposition from the GOP caucus. Meanwhile, bowing to demands from Trump, Mexico is already cracking down on migrants coming from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala before they reach the U.S. border. Also, Trump is redefining what a humanitarian crisis means, referring now to a humanitarian crisis at the border, while ignoring the real humanitarian crisis of human suffering. This includes children who were detained by ICE and still not returned to their families, families kept in detention centers under questionable conditions, children being detained for long periods of time in violation of the Flores Agreement, which is law, and the deaths of children. Most recently, a trans migrant from El Salvador died while they were being held in U.S. custody. Joining us to discuss this and more is Jose Luis Granados Ceja, a writer and photojournalist based in Mexico City.
    And what to do about the worlds oldest profession? Rachel West of US PROStitutes Collective joins us to discuss movements to decriminalize sex work.
    Also, Dr. Melina Abdullah joins us for our weekly Campaigners for Black Lives Series focusing on the California Act to Save Lives (AB 392) and the Black Lives Matter movement.
