Latinx moms for Climate Change is what we're discussing in this episode with Natalie Carney, the Campaign Director of Vote Like a Madre, a movement that was created to mobilize Latinx moms to vote for candidates who believe that climate change is real, and that will support policies that will help save our environment.

Climate change is one of the top concerns for Latinos at the polls. Latinos have been "rinsing, reducing, reusing, recycling" before it was cool.

Listen to learn why we must #VOTELIKEAMADRE, and why we must pinky promise with our kids to promise to vote for climate change.

Ep. 35: Reimagining Schools without Police with Beatriz Beckford

You may have heard of the "school to prison" pipeline and calls to "defund the police" ... but what does this mean? How are our children and communities affected by the presence of police in schools? How are our children's mental, emotional and physical health affected when regular behavior is criminalized in the places that are supposed to educate and nurture them?

In this episode, Diana speaks to Beatriz Beckford, the National Director of Youth and Education Justice at MomsRising. In this important and necessary conversation, Beatriz breaks down what the school to prison pipeline is, how Black and Brown communities are being affected by the presence of police in schools, and more importantly, she breaks down why it makes sense- not only morally, but empirically- to invest in what actually works - instead of increasing budgets for police presence in schools, we should be investing our tax dollars in social emotional learning, nurses and counselors.

Listen and be part of the movement that is working to reimagine schools without police!
