Latino Rebels Radio took the holiday weekend, so our friends at the Latino Media Collective guest host this episode with one of their shows from the spring.
For too long, the immigration debate has been centered exclusively on the Latino community in the United States. At the same time, millions of Southeast Asians have been left out of the conversation. The LMC speaks with Kham Moua on the struggle for Southeast Asian immigrant rights and the importance of Asian/Latino unity to fight back against racism and xenophobia. Moua is the Immigration Policy Advocate for the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC).
