Azul Arizona Uplift

When will enough be enough when it comes to gun violence in this country? Daniel gives us his unfiltered thoughts and debunks some myths about "simple solutions" that people often post on social media. We also welcome our very special guest Amber Illescas, founder of the E3 AZ Foundation to tell us about her work, and how we can help her in her impoertant cause.

Daniel and Louisa discuss the results of the Heard v Depp trial. They also welcome back Abdi Lopez for an update on the Arizona legislation, and of course we have our upllifting stories of the week!

We have a couple of very special guests giving us uplifting stories about never giving up on your education and even a friend saving a friend's life by donating an organ. We also talk about on of the most divisive issues of our time, the war on abortion.

Daniel and Louisa are back with some uplifting stories and some special guests as well. Abdi Lopez returns to undate us on everything happening with the AZ Legislature at the moment. We also welcome Eshawn Peterson from Onward Hope to tell us about some of the work being dome by this amazing organization.

We're back with special guest Abdi Lopez to tell us about her experiences and ways that we can UPLIFT each other day to day.

Today we ask ourselves if we've learned enough from our own history. We remember what happened a year ago on Jan 6th. The amount of people that participated in that insurrection is astonishing and even more so when we talk about who made up that crowd. It's not just crazy Trump supporters but people that have power, money, influence, education. We talk about the obvious double standard that we see when people from our community rally, protest, assemble, or otherwise exercise our rights compared to the actual attack on our capitol with no consequences.

"There's nothing more uplifting than the word FREE" - Daniel Rodriguez Tonight (before the evening's festivities) we spend some time with Leah Bishop to tell us about the Buy nothing project. Groups can be found all around Facebook for community building. More info at buynothingproject.org We also have our friends Anthony and Francis on and we discuss the departure of Betty White, opportunities to further education beyond high school, especially for immigrants, and as always 1 final Daniel rant before the next year...

Episode 2 is here and we talk about Family togetherness, the Parliamentarian is back at it again. We also have two special interviews, one with Monica Rodriguez telling us about how she grew up with Daniel and how they would celebrate the holidays back in Mexico. The other is with a local entrepreneur Olga Larios who took her gift of making delicious tamales and turned it into her business. Of course, we also can't leave out the drink of the day!

Daniel Rodriguez introduces this new project with a very interesting topic that has been making headlines. The Supreme Court is expected to make a ruling on Roe v. Wade in the near future and Daniel welcomes his friend Luisa to discuss the possible repercussions of the Court's decision.
