Call It What You Will Salinas

This week we are lucky enough to sit down once again with organizers from Ciclovía Salinas.  This event that originated in Bogotá, Colombia promotes the opening of streets for community residents to enjoy recreational events that promote a healthy body and mind.  The Ciclovía Salinas event is the only one organized and led by students each year!  Listen in to this episode and hear how over a mile long stretch of Alisal Street is opened up and organized by local students for our community to enjoy.

This week we talk deliciousness with Orlando from Tortas al 100.  How does one keep their tortas 100 in a town where good food isn't hard to find?  Listen in and find out the care Orlando puts in to making sure the food is straight grub status and the ingredients are always Sunday dinner quality.  Take a listen, go try a torta, and let us know what you think as you Call It What You Will Salinas.

This week an appeals court ruling by a normally liberal court stated that the 2nd amendment did allow for the open carry of firearms.  This set some thoughts off as you will hear in this week's episode.  Gun culture surrounded us growing up in the 80s, from tv to video games. As we got older the nature of that culture evolved to include not just the imaginary, but the real.  It seems like everyday there is another headline about a shooting involving people from all walks of life.  And so we ask ourselves, who gets to carry and who doesn't because while a court may say yes, the headlines show a different story.   Listen in and let us know what you think as you Call It What You Will Salinas!

After a long break, we jump back into the craziness that has become our world.  Hear about a local GOP meeting being moved to parts unknown, a right wing youth group starts up with all the things you would expect, a commodore, a Costco food court, and of course a really cool Purple Rain font.  Taking a break from the absurdity of it all, a little summer time reading is discussed as well as Dom officially declaring his summertime album.  Listen in to all this and more as we Call It What You Will Salinas!

It's been a minute, but back with a new episode! Dom sits down to talk with Alejandro Chavez, Soledad City Councilmember. Councilmember Chavez was the past chair of the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) and was cool enough to sit down and talk about Measure X and how funds could be more equitably distributed in Monterey County, especially in South Monterey County.

This episode we hear from Dr. Asif Mahmood, candidate for Lt. Governor of California.  Dr. Mahmood is a pulmonologist and doctor of internal medicine that practices in the Los Angeles area.  Hear why Dr. Mahmood is running for statewide office and why he feels he can be a candidate for change.  There are many races that will be on the ballot in 2018, and the Lt. Governor's race will be an important one.  The Lt. Governor sits on the UC Board of Regents and the CSU Board of Trustees.  The Lt. Governor also serves on the State Lands Commission and is on the Agriculture-Water Transition Task Force.  Whomever you vote for, make sure you find out how the candidate you choose stands on the issues you care about.  Listen in to hear more about where Dr. Mahmood stands on issues such as education, the environment, health care, and the economy of California.

This episode we speak with Professor Michele Dauber from the Recall Judge Aaron Persky campaign.  Why would a group be working to recall a judge?  Many of you have probably heard of the infamous Brock Turner case that took place in Santa Clara County.  Brock Turner was convicted on three counts of felony sexual assault.  Judge Persky sentenced Turner to a 6 month sentence of which, Turner served only 3.  Normally, a 2 year sentence would be deemed the normal sentence for this crime, but a judge does have leeway to reduce the sentence based on a defendant's lack of criminal history and the effect of the incarceration.  However, as you will hear in this episode, Judge Persky has a pattern of being lenient on defendants in sexual assault cases and even in a case involving child pornography.  Community members came together to form a campaign to recall Judge Persky before his next election in 2022.   It is important to note that a recall vote does not remove a candidate from office, it is simply moving up the election date sooner.  This recall effort will require 90,000 signatures in 160 days, but as you will hear, there is an amazing group of volunteers willing to get the work done.  

Domestic violence is a problem that plagues too many communities and can often be a difficult topic to even bring up.  October is domestic violence month, so we sat down with Lideres Campesinas in Greenfield to talk about the wonderful work they do to help out women that have been the victims of domestic violence and what they do to support them.  It can especially be a problem in a community facing additional issues such as someone being undocumented, cultural norms, or economic issues that can all hold someone back from speaking out.  Hear from Sorangel and Audelia on what they do to be supportive of women in their community.

This episode we speak to local artist, Willow Aray.  Monarch butterflies have come to show support for immigrants and Willow painted a mural of a butterfly to encourage people to take their picture with it and show their support for immigrants.  In this episode, hear how one person has used her talents to create something good for the community to share in.  

We spoke to local Hip-Hop artist, Alaric, a few months ago on the show.  He spoke about his upcoming project that he was working on and he was cool enough to come on and share with us the entire album, Unheard Talent.  Released to Soundcloud on Friday the 13th, you can check it out by searching for Alaric_QP.  We sit down in this episode and talk about what it took to get this album made as well as discussing each track and how they came together.  Anyone can drop a track on Soundcloud, but Alaric put in work to make sure that his album was something to be appreciated.  Listen in and see what goes in to the making of an album!

This episode, Dom gets to speak with Nurses and Community Members that were out in Watsonville to gather signatures in support of SB562.  SB562 is a bill that would provide healthcare to all Californians.  All across California, community activists were speaking to others in their community to rally support for this important bill that provides a more affordable healthcare option for all!

What goes into a city budget?  What are the priorities that are considered in that budget, how long does a budget take to write, and how many people need to be spoken to before a budget can be presented?  These aren't questions that we can just google and find the answers to easily, so this week Dom speaks to Matt Pressey, Salinas Finance Director.  Listen in to this episode and learn more about the way our city pays its bills and what the challenges are for Salinas to budget accurately from year to year.  Feel free to let us know what you think after as you Call It What You Will Salinas!

Around the world Ciclovìa festivals are held.  Streets are closed for pedestrians and bicyclists to have free reign to travel.  Booths and activities are set up for the community to take part in.  What makes Salinas Ciclovìa unique, is that our local festival is completely youth organized.  If you have gone an marveled at the organization of the event, know that these young leaders start their planning early and put on what has become a great yearly event.  Listen in to this episode and hear how these young community members became leaders and learned how to collaborate in putting on a wonderful event for Salinas!

How hard do you have to look sometimes to see yourself on the tv screen, on the theater screen, or even on a stage at a play?  This week we speak with xago, a longtime Salinas resident that has been active in the arts in our community.  Currently, he is teaching a teatro class at the Monterey County Youth Center to work with talented youth, to better develop their skills and voices.  We talk about the time xago spent at Teatro Campesino, a landmark theater group in nearby San Juan Batista.  xago speaks about the many projects that he has been involved in and that are to come.  Listen in and find out more about some great projects that you can see! 

Understaffed and overworked, members of the Salinas Fire Department are on pace to answer 14-15,000 calls this year.  Salinas is home to 76 firefighters at the taping of this episode and there is room for at least 9 more.  Being understaffed by 9 firefighters may not sound like a lot, but realize that Salinas Firefighters are sent to help in emergencies such as Hurricane Irma and wildfires here in California.  That puts on extra pressure for the firefighters here in town to pick up extra shifts week after week.  This week it's an honor to sit down with Josh Hostetter, President of the Salinas Firefighters Local 1270, and Martin Flores, Salinas born firefighter on 9/11.

On September 4th, 2017, a Labor Day Rally and March was held in Watsonville.  Union members and allies from Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties gathered across the street from the Plaza to raise awareness on the threat that Labor is facing and to share information and food as people gathered.  Take a listen and hear from Labor members, allies, and elected officials on what makes Labor Day special in our community!

This episode, Dom sits down with Marcos Cabrera from the Monterey County Youth Media Project.  This was a 2 week course that local students could participate in to learn from industry professionals on how to become better journalists.  This free program for high school and college students brought in veteran journalists that were able to work with students on taking their journalism skills to a higher level.  This program was modeled on the Mosaic High School Journalism Workshop that was founded by San Jose Mercury reporter, Joe Rodriguez, in 1993.  One of the first graduates was Marcos Cabrera and now he and others are sharing what they know with young journalists from our community.  This episode takes us not only into the program the participated in, but also the work Marcos has done as a reporter and as an active member of the local arts, such as Baktun 12.  Dom tries not to go off on tangents, but Marcos brings a diverse experience to the mic, so that there were a lot of interesting conversational roads to go down when talking to Marcos.  Listen in and Call It What You Will Salinas!

It has been a long week as we witnessed the events of Charlottesville and the aftermath to follow.  This episode we just gather around the table to talk about all that happened in Charlottesville and the demonstration that was held to stand against hate in Salinas.  Our discussion draws in friend of the show, Gabby, who gives us her perspective on racism and privilege.  Through the twists and turns of our conversation, we somehow make it to South Korea as the show checks in with Dom's buddy Phil.  We speak to Phil about being a Canadian abroad in South Korea.  This week has been a long week so we just jump on the mic and share our thoughts for you to Call It What You Will Salinas.

Community organization, League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) partnered with groups such as SEIU, NAACP, UFW Foundation, and STAND to come together and rally against racism in Salinas on the corner of Boronda and North Main Street.  It was a peaceful demonstration that saw many people honk their support for the message of unity and love that the demonstrators represented.  There was a diverse crowd of community members, activists, and elected officials that stood up and said hate would not be accepted here in Salinas.  

This episode finds Dom hanging out with Rob from the MASA for the RAZA podcast and Big Mike from the GTFOH podcast, both here in Salinas.  Both were cool to come by on short notice and just kick it in the booth as we talked about food spots, growing up in Salinas, new vs old Hip Hop, and everything in between.   There are a lot of different shows that record in Salinas now and it was cool just to kick it with a couple of the other shows and compare notes at the table.  

We head over to a rally organized by Marina Planning Commissioner Adam Urrutia to protest the hateful event that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia.  This protest that was organized just the night before, brought together about 100 people from all over the Central Coast that wanted to stand together to denounce the hateful march seen by many on tv and social media.  Community members and elected officials were at the corner of Del Monte and Reservation from 10am-12pm in Marina.  It was a peaceful protest with many passing cars honking their support.  

This episode we talk to Mike and Jeff from Mike PZ and the Associates, a local band that plays here on the Central Coast.  There is a lot that this episode touches on as it was an interesting conversation that we had with Mike and Jeff.  We talk not only about the sound you can expect from Mike PZ and the Associates, but also all the sounds that we grew up and listen to from the Bakersfield Sound to Old School and Piedmont Blues.  The conversation just kept moving as through the 2 hours we spoke we hit on what goes into a show, places they have played, and dealing with audiences that are good and bad.  This is a great episode to listen to if you want to hear about a group that just loves playing music.  To learn more about the band check them out on social media at: www.reverbnation.com/mikepzandtheassociates www.facebook.com/mikepzliveanddirect Go on youtube and search Mike PZ and the Associates Listen to a fun time with two musicians that love what they do and let us know what you think as you Call It What You Will Salinas!

This week our show starts off at Jesse G. Sanchez Elementary school where the Alisal Union School Board met to discuss school resource officers (SROs) being on Alisal campuses.  We spoke to Israel Villa of MILPA, Salinas Police Chief Adele Fresè, and community members about their thoughts on having SROs on Alisal campuses.  The issues of SROs has been in the news a lot recently as it was turned down at the Salinas Union High School District and the Police Department has until the end of August to use this grant for SROs or it will expire.   Our episode shifts over to the XL Publichouse where Rafael and Dom continue the discussion on SROs.  The conversation moves to cover other topics such as a recent workshop Rafael attended on non-profits working with immigrants, we touched on the sad news of those who were found dead in a trailer in San Antonio when they tried to enter the country.  Dom explains why he still hasn't seen 13th on Netflix even though he knows he should have, hear talk on the recent Trump rant and ban of transgender soldiers, and we end on a positive note as we talk about the film "Dolores" a documentary on the life of Dolores Huerta coming to Salinas in September.

This episode is recorded on the road as Dom travels with local community group, Safe Ag Safe Schools (SASS), to Sacramento to join organizations from all over California to call for the ban of the pesticide, chlorpyrifos.  Chlorpyrifos was on the brink of being banned across the United States by the EPA under the Obama Administration.  However, with the new administration in power, the use of chlorpyrifos is still being allowed.  Hear from SASS organizer Lucia Calderon, co-director Mark Weller, and many of the local activists that came from Salinas, Watsonville, Greenfield, and Santa Cruz to join a demonstration of 250+ people in our state capital.  Listen in and learn about a group that is working to make our local community safer.

Finally, this week we bring a little bit of balance back to the show as we have local resident, Nenneya, join us in a discussion.  Our talk ranges from the new 2pac film to the audacity of an outgoing Congressman introducing a bill to give housing stipends to members of Congress.  On a more serious note, we discuss that most loaded of words in the English language and share our different perspectives on it and it's use in today's society.  It's another week of Call It What You Will here in Salinas!

This week we opened with the always talented Jota Effectus sharing us some of his recent work and filling us in on some of the open mic and other performances that will be going down in Watsonville soon.

Una platica con Rene y Luis de la organización innovadora MILPA que fomenta liderazgo entre nuestros jóvenes y extiende su hermandad y apoyo a nuestros hermanos y hermanas en las prisiones.

How often when you sat in a classroom did you ever see yourself in a history book?  It is true that there is a vastness to history because of the thousands of years of civilization and the countless events within those years and yet, how often could you open a book and find something that speaks to you?  This week we speak to MILPA. (Motivating Individual Leadership for Public Advancement)  This group looks to build members of our community to succeed in the future by connecting them to their past.  By being grounded in where we have come from, it can be easier to move forward.  Speaking to Rene Casas and Louie Gutierrez, we hear about how MILPA has worked in our community on the issues of leadership, prison reform, and reconnecting with cultural roots.  This week is a lot on how a program that looks to be successful not just today, but 7 generations down the line in order to build a lasting change in our community.  

Once again, we are treated to the performances from local artists at the Hartnell Throwdown Session.  This is an event that allows students and members of the community to showcase their talents in spoken word, hip-hop, singing, and public speaking at the Hartnell Campus.  These open mic events are the result of the hard work of students at Hartnell to organize and put on this event.  Talent takes time and it takes a place to train and grow.  This is an opportunity for many of us to see those that already have put in a lot of effort towards their art and are ready to share it with the public to enjoy.  Enjoy the show and come out this fall when school is back in and we can look forward to another Hartnell Throwdown Session!

Nuestros amigos de Meals on Wheels   De Slinas nos explican de que se trata el programa. No solamente para la gente de la tercer edad, pero también aprendemos sobre algo especial que también trae comida a las mascotas (perros, gatos y asta pericos). "Meals on Wheels" llego a estar en el noticiero nacional cuando la administración de presidente  Donald Trump cuestionó la validez y el valor de éste programa tan esencial para la comunidad. Pues entonces lo tomamos como tarea buscar a representantes de el programa y aprender sobre el maravilloso trabajo que hacen este grupo de trabajadores y voluntarios para la comunidad. 

We get our eyes opened to the amazing service that Meals on Wheels of the Salinas Valley provides here in our community.  Not stopping at delivering meals, we also hear of a great partnership that allows for this Meals on Wheels chapter to deliver meals for pet dogs, cats, and birds as well.  Meals on Wheels made headlines nationally when this essential program had their community value questioned by a member of the Trump Administration.  So we reached out to hear it from the group itself and learned about the wonderful work this group of staff and volunteers does to serve our community.  

After a great conversation with Magnolia Zarraga, a local immigration attorney, we tried to keep the convo going amongst ourselves, but we inevitably got off topic.  These random episodes are a chance for the Call It What You Will crew to just sit back and talk over beers about the events of the day and whatever may bubble out of our thoughts.  Coast along with the conversation as we go from the serious to the philosophical, to the shocking announcement that one of us feels Attack of the Clones was a great Star Wars movie.  

Magnolia Zarraga, abogada de inmigracion, nos visita hoy en el podcast y nos platica sobre muchos temas importantes acerca de la cuestion de documentacion incluyedo: la ciudadania; deportacion; que hacer si una se encuentra con un agente de ICE; que es lo que nunca se debe de hacer si se encuentra con un agente; como protegerse; recursos de asistencia;  y mucho mas. 

What can you say about the first 100 days of this era we call Trump.  Dom, Rafael, and Alex try to wrap their heads around what these first 100 days of been and like the Trump Administration it comes out scattered.  How does one speak cohesively about that which has little cohesion?  This episode ends up being a mixed bag of reactions to what has been a very unnerving start to the Trump era.  

Salinas is far from an affordable place to live and a big reason why is we have more people crammed into a city that doesn't have enough housing to hold everyone. Getting housing built, especially affordable housing, is never easy and so this week we speak to Matt Huerta, Salinas City Planning Commission member. Matt has long been involved in the process of building affordable housing going back to his days as the first Latino ASB President at UC Davis. This week is a longer interview because there is a lot to learn. Listen to Matt's experiences organizing at Davis as he becomes a student leader and begins his career studying, organizing, and implementing affordable housing from Silicon Valley to Salinas.

El arte callejero de artista Joey Martinez nos abre otras dimensiones del universo donde viajamos por galaxias y agujeros negros en universos infinitos que existen en una célula... Se atreven viajar con nosotros?

Art is meant to provoke conversation and that is certainly the case this week as we sit down with local artist, Joey Martinez.  For those of you that attended the recent Cesar Chavez March, you probably noticed his larger than life sculpture, "La Aguila Negra," that was on loan to the march from Oasis School.  The conversation wanders from the real to surreal to stuff that Dom has no real understanding of, but Rafael and Joey are able to fill in the blanks.  Art is not meant for agreement, but debate and conversation that leads to a better understanding of the world around you.  We hope this episode plays a small part of that understanding.   As always, help a podcast out and like our page and share our episode to help this little endeavor grow here in the 831!

Right off the bat, Rafael regrets letting his friends know to tune in the show as this week we have no guest.   And when we have no guest, well...things tend to be a bit loose and more profane, rather than profound.  That being said, the entire crew, Dom, Walter, Raj, and Rafael spend an hour wandering from topics of food from here in Salinas and around the world.  

It gets waste deep as Dom, Walter, and Raj somehow get very little discussion done about the latest national news.   These three haven't been together on an episode in a while so in a scene reminiscent of the GOP primaries, we go after each other.  During the show there is a 15 seconds of silence to reenact a stunning chess victory at XL Publichouse last week. Join us this week as you listen to our show blow off some steam.

Our 50th episode!  This week we speak to an amazing group of young journalists in training from Radio Bilingue, KHDC, 90.9FM.  This group made up of students from local High Schools and even a Middle School can be heard live on the air every Monday from 4-6pm.  Their program is called Alza Tu Voz / Speak Out and is a chance for bilingual students from our community to be heard by a larger audience.  As part of the KHDC Salinas Youth Radio Training Program, they put on a show that is a mix of talk radio and music requests.  With guidance from KHDC's own Chui Ramirez, the young journalists research and discuss the issues and concerns from our community that they want to bring on air.  Be sure to catch the show every week and if you want to get in a music request, call the request line at 831-758-5432   If you want to apply to be a part of this program go to: http://radiobilingue.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/salinas_youth_radio_app.pdf  

En este episodio hablamos con miembro del consejo (presidencia municipal) Tony Barrera y aprendimos de su vida como un mexicano, un estado unidense, un miembro de la comunidad, un hombre de familia, un politico, hijo, padre, y finalmente, como un ser humano. En esta conversación viajamos con el por aventuras desde Sinaloa a San Pancho hasta que eventualmente cae en Salinas. Seguimos su vida entre pueblos fronterizos de Mexico-EU, y analizamos la frontera que suele existir entre Chicanos nacidos en el EU e inmigrantes nacidos en Mexico.

He takes us through adventures from Sinaloa to San Francisco, until he eventually makes it to Salinas.  We follow his life through US-Mexico border towns and analyze the border between US born Chicanos and Mexican born immigrants. Through it all, his integrity about paying it forward and humility about positions of status and power tie it all together and bring us a message of community engagement and helping your neighbor.

A special episode during the week as Dom sits down at the Brickhouse to speak with Delaine Eastin, candidate for California Governor in 2018.  Dom does his best to keep up with the gubernatorial candidate as she gives us her thoughts on the wide range of issues that California faces.  As a former Assembly member and only woman to be elected State Superintendent of Public Instruction in California, Delaine Eastin has a wide background of knowledge that you will hear in this episode.  Education is a topic you will hear about early and often in this episode as well as issues ranging from infrastructure spending, cannabis, and environmental protection.  Before Donald Trump, California had Pete Wilson, and Delaine Eastin was kind enough to give us some extra time to share how she stood against former Governor Pete Wilson and proposition 187 in the 1990s.  Enjoy this special episode with California Gubernatorial Candidate, Delaine Eastin. For more information on her candidacy, visit: Web:  http://www.delaineforgovernor.com Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/DelaineEastinPublic/ Twitter:  @DelaineEastin Also, we want to mention that there is a t-shirt design contest for the Delaine Eastin campaign.   Visit http://www.delaineforgovernor.com/t_shirt_design_contest to submit a design!    

En estos tiempos, reunirse es más importante que nunca. Mientras nuestros derechos vienen bajo ataque es importante tener eventos donde podemos permanecer unidos y representar la unidad de nuestra comunidad. Por décadas el UFW ha representado la lucha que trabajadores han experimentado para ganar la igualdad equivalente al trabajo que hacen. El 2 de abril nos juntaremos para honrar el legado de un gran hombre que creo en la no violencia, la dignidad de un día honesto de trabajo y el poder de una comunidad unida.    El 2 de abril vengan al parque Cesar Chavez para estar juntos como una comunidad para honrar el legado no solo de Cesar Chavez, pero de todos que han laborado para construir nuestra comunidad.
