March on Washington; Building Resilience Through Resistance; Ankle Monitors to Deportation Flights

Errol Minor opens the show by welcoming Charlie Ramos from CWA’s National Human Rights Department to discuss the upcoming March on Washington and why workers and human rights activists are mobilizing in our nation’s capital. The hosts then ask, “When the Lights Come Back On, Do We Stop Asking Questions?”—examining what happens when struggling communities disappear from the headlines but the underlying inequities remain. The team also looks back at the 2026 CWA Human Rights Conference, reflecting on Building Resilience Through Resistance and the lessons participants are taking back into their unions and communities. The conversation turns to government power and human dignity with “When a Touch Becomes a Weapon,” examining proposed electric-shock gloves for ICE officers and the human rights concerns surrounding their use. The show closes with “From Ankle Monitors to Deportation Flights,” confronting what happens to Haitian migrants and other vulnerable communities when temporary protections end—and challenging labor to remember that human rights are worker rights, and solidarity cannot stop at the workplace.
