In this episode of #MondaysWithMelba, I give Hurricane Ian updates, but also talk about the horrific political stunt in Martha’s Vineyard by the Florida governor that wasted nearly $2 million that could have gone to relief efforts. I break down some of the immigration nuances too and what it means for our pockets.
A great org that is doing relief work on the ground for Hurricane Ian is The Smile Trust - donate or volunteer with them if you can.
Read more about the relationship between agriculture and undocumented migrants here.
Also, NPR did a great piece on the "Reverse Freedom Rides" in the '60s -- which was basically what the Florida gov repeated when he flew the migrants to Martha's Vineyard. It didn't work then, and it ain't working now!
