Wednesday Questions - Karen Velderrain-Lopez

1. In Sobreviviendo, the song has the lyrics "People live and struggle / without knowing what is to come." How does this song relate to the current situations that farm workers, and other undocumented essential workers are facing due to COVID-19?

2. Reflecting on the protests discussed in the NPR article and the push for more exclusive legislation regarding the stimulus checks, how are we fighting against social death that undocumented workers and other essential workers face in society right now? How does this benefit society as a whole?

3. After reading the NPR protesting article and Sobreviviendo, especially with the quote from Garza from the NPR article, "People just wanted to hear songs that make them feel like they are part of the fight," how else do we currently use as resilience and protest methods for other current issues? How do we reflect on the past to inspire these practices today?
