Today on Sojourner Truth:

The six-day teachers strike in Los Angeles, the second-largest school district in the nation, has ended after teachers and staff members approved a new agreement between the United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA) and the school district. Teachers are returning to the classrooms today. Whats in the contract? What, if anything, did teachers give up? How long will it take to implement the agreement? Our guest is Arlene Inouye, chair of the UTLA bargaining team. She has worked in the L.A. public school system for over 25 years.

The story of what is happening with migrant children separated from their families or being held in family detention centers has fallen out of focus in mainstream media. But last week, the administration of Donald Trump admitted that there are thousands more children separated than the 2,737 previously reported and that they really don't know how many were separated. It is unclear where the children are. Our guest is Peter Schey, executive director of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law. They provide legal defense for migrant children.

Dr. Melina Abdullah, a founder of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles, has been charged by the City of Los Angeles with eight criminal misdemeanor counts stemming from her activism relating to LAPD killings of Black and Brown youth. Melina is our guest today for our ongoing series Campaigners for Black Lives.
