Summary
Julio and Maria kick back this Friday and catch up on the week's news—from the Pennsylvania special election in a disappearing congressional district to the power of youth walking out of school to protest gun violence. They also chat about courageous women of color, like undocumented immigration activist Maru Mora-Villalpando, who filed a complaint against ICE and Lizbeth Mateo, an attorney and Dream 9 OG who became the first undocumented immigrant appointed to a statewide post in California. And they discuss the tragic assassination of Marielle Franco, a Rio de Janeiro councilwoman.
