Karen is looking forward to the PBS special, “The Providers,” which covers the clinicians at a rural health center in New Mexico, and airs on Monday, April 8th.

Candace shared “ICE Arrest Foiled By Activist Who Knows The Law: ‘You Have No Jurisdiction Over Me’”. Del responded with a cautionary note from immigrant attorneys that advice people of color to avoid such a strategy.
