Rest in Power Eva Alvarez

We spend this episode remembering SW Michigan based immigrant rights organizer Eva Alvarez who died tragically in a car accident at the end of February. We talk about Eva and devote time to critical analysis on the issues Eva devoted their life to.

 

We also feature an interview we did with Eva in July of 2018 about the important work they were involved with in the community.
