All this week, we have been sharing stories from the podcast Seedcast, which explores the stories of the Indigenous experience around the world.
On Thursday, we heard from Marciano Sanchez. He and his family were displaced from their homeland when he was a child and ended up harvesting berries in the Skagit Valley in exploitive working conditions.
When we left off, farmworkers had founded the first Indigenous farmworkers union in Washington. Now, in part two of the story, we hear how Sanchez went from farmworker to union organizer, and how important language, culture and community were in his success.
We also hear from Edgar Franks, political director at Familias Unidas por la Justicia.
