Long Beach-based artist and former produce field worker Narsiso Martinez talks about: Growing up in a small town in Oaxaca, Mexico (Santa Cruz Papalutla), with several brothers and sisters, and a mom and dad who were often on the road for work; his resistance and questioning of working in the fields, something his family did when he was growing up as a way to have food on hand in tighter times; a very condensed version of his travails in crossing the border from Mexico into the U.S., which took him 4 tries to do; his initial settling in Los Angeles with one of his brothers, who is in the car upholstery business; going to an adult high school to learn English as well as other classes, on his way to going to Cal State Long Beach for an undergraduate, and eventually an MFA degree; how he made his adult high school studies a higher priority than his day jobs, so if a job conflicted with school, he would leave the job; his ups and downs at LA City College, where he got his associate degree and may have gone into biology if it wasn't for his lack of resident papers; what it was like working in the fields – physically as well as mentally – up in Washington state, where he picked produce including asparagus, cherries and apples, both for one full year, as well as over the summers between Cal State Long Beach school years; his gradual discovery of produce boxes that became the surfaces/objects for his paintings, starting with collecting a few boxes from a Costco; his complex thoughts and feelings about class differences, including thinking of himself as something of a role model for who people can become, as well as the importance of education, and family support, in making his long journey, which he describes as many different lives.

My guest today went from Undocumented to the Supreme Court! Luis Cortes Romero– is an immigration lawyer, advocate, and Dreamer who was part of the team that successfully defended the DACA Program before the U.S. Supreme Court and won.   Luis was brought to the U.S. from Mexico when he was just 2 years old and grew up in California's Bay Area. He's currently a partner at NOVO LEGAL GROUP in the Seattle area.  FIRST: We discuss the route that took him to argue before the nation's highest court to protect the legal program that allowed him to become an attorney in the first place! THEN: Luis gives us a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what it was like during the arguments before the Supreme Court Justices. And a look at the unique team– including one unlikely conservative key player who joined the effort to win the case.  AND FINALLY: What he says immigration advocacy looks like right now during a Biden administration. And what activists should be focusing on right now?
