Week 10 Draft
1. "Community radio made it possible for Chicana/o broadcasters to access funds for technical training through women and minority training grants offered by the CPB," (De La Torre, Programas Sin Verguenza, 179). The CPB did not have commercials and valued community needs and interaction. How were they able to fund these trainings and and staff to continue broadcasting?
2. Describing the Chicana directed programming, Somos Chicanas, "what made this show "shameless" to some was how it questioned the idea of a woman's purity, piety, and submissiveness, particularly for those women who grew up in a traditional Mexican or Chicano household," (De La Torre, 183). How did radio provide a safe, intersectional space for Chicana women to express themselves and their needs without direct fear of repercussion?
3. "Experts say another reason the virus has hit Latinos hard is that they work in industries that are considered essential or that cannot be done remotely," (Fowler, Kroman, Why COVID-19 is hitting Washington...). Yet, if the essential employee is an undocumented immigrant, they are also unable to receive financial support from the government. How can the government class a job as essential, but not treat the person's life and livelihood as essential?
