Dive into the history of Point Reyes National Seashore in northern California with us. It's one of the most iconic national parks in the region, known for rugged sweeping beaches and the famous tule elk. We'll recount the waves of colonization that violently upended the lives of the Coast Miwok peoples who lived there – and one Indigenous woman's struggle to preserve her family history. The story of Point Reyes is a story about how the forces of colonialism continue to shape the fate of public lands in the United States.

Saeglopur - Sigur Ros (SOOHAN's Early Morning Remix)

11 million. That's the estimated number of people living in the U-S who are undocumented. During his first weeks in office President Donald Trump signed orders to build a border wall, ban travel from countries with largely Muslim populations, and deny federal funds to sanctuary cities and states. In this show we'll look to previous administrations to see how they treated people who were undocumented, and how immigrant movements of the past responded.

At this time of year, we tend to indulge our desire to order-in. In New York City, all it takes is a few taps on your phone and dinner will be on its way to your doorstep. But the ease of this process can erase the effort behind it. In this segment Dylan Heuer reports on the challenging conditions delivery workers are facing in NYC, from healthcare to police crackdowns on electric bikes.

Chalk Back!: NYC Students Speak Out Against Street Harassment

New York's status as a sanctuary city has not kept Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents out of the five boroughs. As ICE raids continue, activists are making longer term plans to provide sanctuary. One institution using their privilege to protect immigrants, is synagogues.

In the Face of ICE Raids, Synagogues Serve as Place of Sanctuary

Jewish people across the country took to the streets on Sunday to protest the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In New York, protesters shut down the Amazon Book Store in Midtown Manhattan because of the company’s strong ties to ICE. This act of civil disobedience resulted in the arrest of nearly 50 people. Dylan Heuer reports on momentum behind this local action.
