Vaya Con Muñoz 12.9.17
Kudos to Time magazine for spotlighting the women and men who called out sexual harassment and assault by powerful men. Link to “The Silence Breakers” story here: time.com/time-person-of-the-year-2017-silence-breakers/
Kudos to Emma Thompson for calling for societal change to end sexual harassment. We hear a snippet from her conversation with the BBC.
Lillian Torres y yo hablamos sobre el hostigamiento sexual y cómo es posible que aun exista a pesar de que la mayoría de los hombres son criados por mujeres.
Part 2 of our conversation with Betty Medina, executive director of Enlace de Familias en Holyoke. She breaks down how FEMA and MEMA works — or doesn’t — in helping Puerto Rican families arriving to our region. Lots of compassionate people but also lots of bureaucratic challenges hobble the process.
The governor of Puerto Rico, Ricardo Rosselló, gets a lot of things wrong in my view but when it came to calling for the resignation of a lawmaker accused of gender-based violence, he gets it right.
We are sung out by Lucecita, “Amanecer Borincano.”
