Today on Sojourner Truth:
The latest and analysis of the stimulus legislation now being debated in the Senate. Our guest is Dr. Eileen Appelbaum, Co-Director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, DC.
Increasingly, we are all becoming dependent on deliveries of food and other essential goods to our homes during the coronavirus crisis. What risks are those working in the delivery industry taking to make our lives easier now? How are they being protected? We speak with Omar Moreno, a warehouse worker and driver for the United Parcel Service (UPS), and Bill Gallegos, a longtime Chicano Liberation and environmental justice activist.
Also, under the banner of "The Reclaimers," the occupation of city-owned houses by those who are homeless or housing insecure continue in the El Sereno neighborhood of East Los Angeles. Our guests are Ruby Gordillo, a 33-year-old Angeleno with three children, and Roberto Flores, a lifelong fighter for social justice and co-founder of the Eastside Cafe in Los Angeles.
