Darrel Wanzer-Serrano, Ariana Ruiz, and Rene Rocha are recording an episode together for the first time since Episode 2. After some groaning about how the semester is beating us up, we get to work talking about the recent La Bamba film screening, the upcoming Palante, Siempre Palante screening (with filmmaker and former Young Lord, Iris Morales!), and the upcoming Latina/o/x Migration symposium. Check the chapter markers for a detailed list of topics.
