a new Latino USA episode 🎧

A farmworker opened fire at two farms in Half Moon Bay, California, in January 2023. He killed seven men, six co-workers and a supervisor, all immigrants. He also shot a seventh man —five times— but he survived. The physical recovery for Pedro Romero Pérez has been a long one, but his emotional healing has been even longer. José, Pedro’s older brother and only family in the U.S., didn’t survive the shooting. In this episode, we go to Half Moon Bay, where an unconventional music program is helping Pedro and others heal from their deepest wounds through the keys and wails of the accordion.

On Democracy Now!, Maria L Hinojosa reflects on what she uncovered while reporting in El Salvador for the Latino USA episode, "From Pregnancy to Murder Charge: Living Under a Total Abortion Ban."

El Salvador’s total abortion ban offers a warning for the U.S., but there’s also resistance and hope. The women’s movement is still present, still fighting, and refuses to be silenced.
