Channel: Memory and Resistance Laboratory
Date: 2020-07-05

This is the Memory and Resistance Laboratory Podcast. In this podcast series, Memory and Resistance in the Time of Covid, students from UCR interview people across the fields of education, art, medicine, and labor organizing to ask about the larger political, social, historical, and economic impacts of our current circumstances for vulnerable communities.

In this episode, we are joined by Mario Vasquez, the communications coordinator for Teamsters Local 1932, and one of the lead organizers of San Bernardino Airport Communities, a local coalition of San Bernardino residents fighting for a community benefits agreement with Amazon. Mario is interviewed by Adrian Gonzalez, a fourth-year sustainability studies student at the University of California, Riverside.
