On this month's show:

... we also talk to an organizer doing support work in the aftermath of a recent raid on migrant workers in New Bedford, Massachusetts, the largest single workplace raid in recent memory;
... and we'll hear from the sister of Anas Bennis, the victim of an unexplained police killing in Montreal in 2005.
The show includes:

She played an active role in lending support to the targeted immigrant workers of a recent raid by Immigrant and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on a manufacturing plant.
