What's good for workers is always essential. 

At the height of the pandemic, the already pre-existing inequities and discrimination that were in play were exposed during the Covid crisis. 

In this episode, Sabrina travels to South Fallsburg in Sullivan County, NY, and then joins the caravan that visited factories and farms to show solidarity for migrant workers suffering even more during this time. 

In this episode, we meet some of our neighbors who took to the streets to support Latinx farmworkers in Sullivan County who were the community members testing positive for Covid at the highest numbers because of unacceptable working conditions.

What's good for working people? Sabrina speaks with Sparrow Tobin, a union leader who says, "we are bargaining for the common good...for everyone." 

Sparrow Tobin is the president of the Hudson Valley Area Labor Federation. Sullivan County, NY, is one of the counties represented by HVALF. 

Join her as she speaks with her neighbors about winter. 

Sabrina and Terry (aka The Handy Hag) sit down in "The Bee" trailer for a conversation about her Homostead art project combing her music-making and the land. Terry shares her honey at the kitchen table of the trailer with Sabrina, as well as a dialogue about queerness, identity, and shaping her life around her dedication to living more sustainably. 

A beloved member of the Sullivan County, Catskills in NY, Judge Josephine Victoria Finn is known as a "beacon" of justice, youth advocate, and mentor. The Honorable Finn shares her personal and professional history with Sabrina, why she focuses on at-risk youth in Sullivan County, racial equity, and the importance of engagement with our judicial system for both defendants and the health of the community. 

Since 2003 Aileen Gunther has served as the a member of the NY State Assembly in the 100th district of Sullivan and part of Orange Counties in the Catskill and Hudson Valley neighborhoods. A former nurse, Aileen as her constituents call her speaks to Sabrina about her love and commitment to the region and people she represents. "Heart and soul" are requirements of the job she shares. In the midst of the Midterm elections Aileen reminds us about the importance of voting during this critical time.

Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason: AphroChic

Sabrina continues her conversation with AphroChic's Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason about well-being. AphroChic is dedicated to exploring the intersection of modern design and global culture across diverse populations, with a focus on highlighting culture within the African American community.

Sabrina speaks with Mallika Dutt about her project, Inter-Connected: Shared well-being for people and the planet. Mallika asks, are we ready for world leaders who recognize the interdependence of all things? She urges us to create new ways of living so all beings can thrive together.
