Monday Draft Week 10: Grace Grotz

1. In Monica de la Torre’s “Programas Sin Vergüenza”, the creation of Chicana-run broadcasting programs after the 1967 Public Broadcasting Act passage is described. De la Torre explains, “the effects are lasting to this day, and yet there is little scholarship that documents and analyzes these strategies” (2). Why is recording the strategies of activist movements as they are happening important? How can this affect future movements? 
2. Fowler’s “Undocumented Workers Fend for Themselves with Little COVID-19 Help” details the different federal and local financial aid programs created during the pandemic. Many of these programs do not provide aid to undocumented workers. Fowler also notes a local collaboration of groups that “have established an emergency fund to help undocumented immigrants during the pandemic” (14). What can citizen-run convivencia and collaboration bring to communities that government organizations do not?
3. “Why COVID-19 is hitting Washington Latinos especially hard” notes the disturbing rise in cases in communities of color, saying “The reasons for the recent shift are likely multiple” (9). With so many underlying causes of this disproportionality, how can a solution be reached?
