🎙️ [Free] Chavez Foundation, Latino Justice, & the Government Shutdown

Sam Chavez

Hi y’all! 👋🏽 This week, we had double the Chavez! Host Sam Chavez (she/they/he) spoke with Andres Chavez (he/him) from the Chavez Foundation about the foundation’s work, the impact of the government shutdown on their programs, and the legacy of Cesar Chavez. Watch today’s episode.

“You only lose when you give up.”

We explore the importance of storytelling and media in shaping narratives for Latino communities and how the foundation is directly supporting Latino families and immigrants amidst the ongoing attacks on Latinos. Like Cesar, we led with heart and hope, emphasizing resilience, community engagement, and the ongoing fight for social justice.
