episode Butch Ware: The Green Candidate cover

Beskrivelse

A UC Santa Barbara professor and 2024 Green Party Vice Presidential candidate, Butch Ware [https://www.instagram.com/butchware/] is now running for Governor of California and challenging the two-party system head-on, despite ongoing legal battles to keep him on the June primary ballot. In this conversation with host Michelle Zacarias, Ware speaks candidly about California’s housing and homelessness crisis, immigration enforcement, universal healthcare, and what he sees as both parties’ failures to serve working-class Californians. He makes the case that a third-party candidate isn’t just viable but necessary. Here at The Latino Newsletter, interviewing a candidate does not mean we are endorsing that candidate. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit newsroom, we are offering this conversation strictly for civic information purposes. Our team has reached out and will continue to contact other candidates in the California governor’s race. We are on the media lists for several of these campaigns, and if any candidate wants to speak with us, they can reach us at editor@thelatinonewsletter.org. We take elections seriously, and our community deserves to hear directly from the people asking for their votes. This episode of The Latino Newsletter podcast was produced by Joaquín Cotler, Juan Diego Ramírez, and Michelle Zacarias, with editorial support from Edward Wilkey. Julio Ricardo Varela edited the conversation. The music is by Cast of Characters via Soundstripe. Season 2 of The Latino Newsletter podcast was made possible through individual gifts ⁠and ⁠⁠⁠The Latino Media Consortium⁠⁠⁠ [https://wearelatinomedia.org/].

Episodio 3: Más libres que nunca

En la época dorada de las Negro Leagues, sus grandes estrellas venían a Puerto Rico a jugar durante el invierno. En Estados Unidos, vivían el racismo. En el archipiélago, nunca se sintieron más libres. Julio Ricardo Varela cuenta cómo Puerto Rico les dio a los peloteros afroamericanos una dignidad que su propio país les negaba, abriendo el camino a Roberto Clemente y a su eterno legado.

Episode 2: No Way Home

José Raphael dreams of one thing: retiring in Puerto Rico, the place where he was born. He survived Vietnam, Agent Orange, and cancer. But the archipelago has just one fully functioning VA hospital, and going back could cost him the care keeping him alive. His daughter, producer T.J. Raphael, tells his story and what it reveals about the care Puerto Rican veterans are owed for serving in American wars, and still can't get at home. This episode of American Colony was produced by T.J. Raphael. It was edited by Julio Ricardo Varela.
