Day Laborers in the Crosshairs

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
PROGRAM #11254 11:00 AM PT

Day Laborers in the Crosshairs. 

Unions and workers across the country took to the streets on Labor Day to protest the White House’s “pro-billionaire and anti-worker” agenda. Few workers have been as targeted under this administration as the day laborers who seek work on street corners. Community organizers speak out about the havoc caused by ICE raids on day laborers and their families. What is the toll of these raids? How exposed are immigrant workers to further abuse? How are labor unions responding? This commemorative show features a playlist of songs of resistance by Los Jornaleros del Norte. This repeat program originally aired on September 1, 2025.
