Special Re-release: Storming The Barricades: A Conversation With Tomas Aguilar

When a hurricane or tropical storm hits Texas, Tomas Aguilar wants the immigrant residents he works with to be effectively organized to withstand the storms. The Living Hope Wheelchair Association where he works seeks to make sure that immigrants of limited means can be protected and that they have a voice in public policy that will improve the chances for their survival in the future. In this episode, Tomas talks about: - After the devastation of Hurricane Harvey, how his small organization visited the mobile homes and trailers where many of their constituents actually lived and found ways to better connect immigrants with the aid that was lacking after that hurricane. - Tools and techniques that can help new leaders be more effective at using data to reduce the disproportionate impact of catastrophic events. - His own story as a person who made a transition from working in fast food restaurants to working for social justice organizations. Resources: - Risk Amid Recovery: Occupational Health and Safety of Latino Day Laborers in the Aftermath of the Gulf Coast Hurricanes, Linda Delp, Laura Podolsky, and Tomás Aguilar - Living Hope Wheelchair Association - Tech Soup - tech for nonprofits - Progressive Technology Project - United for a Fair Economy
