Community Voz is C2C's ecofeminist radio show which presents the grassroots work that local people are doing across intersecting movements. Our radio shows are engaging conversations about issues and news you probably won't hear anywhere else. We believe in community radio and alternative media, which highlights the character, beauty and courage of the voices of people on the ground. Tune in for reflections and report backs from C2C organizers and allies on the frontlines of the struggle for farmworker justice. We are extremely grateful to the talents volunteered on this show by Liz Darrow, who did all of the recording and engineering, as well as KMRE, our local non profit public radio station and host!

Recently on Community Voz, Brenda Bentley and Liz Darrow from C2C talked with artist Angelita Martinez about the influence of the punk rock movement in their lives and work. They discuss some of their favorite punk rock bands and the political impact of punk, including its limited representation of women and people of color. Listen to the episode here.
