Matthew Garcia has been in jail for 26 years for second-degree felony murder. He didn't even have a gun, yet he has a life sentence. As an adopted child from North Philadelphia, Matthew has turned his life around in remarkable ways. He is a published author with a book called "Raw Reflections" and graduated with college courses from Villanova, St. Joseph's, Bryn Mawr, and Widener University. Matthew also created his own mentoring program called the Real Rap Program and has scholarships for at-risk youth with Councilman Kenyatta Johnson. Despite these achievements, he remains behind bars due to Pennsylvania's harsh felony murder law. This petition seeks to change the felony murder law in Pennsylvania to make lifers like Matthew eligible for parole. His case shares similarities with Derek Lee's case that the PA Supreme Court is ready to rule on, including 17 amicus briefs filed on behalf of individuals like him. Please support Matthew Garcia by signing this petition and advocating for fairer sentencing laws in Pennsylvania!

In this episode of What Is Life? you'll hear from Matthew Garcia, a man convicted of felony murder in the 1990's for his role in a robbery that resulted in a retired Philadelphia police officer being killed. Matthew did not directly kill the retired officer and has said he actually fled the scene before the killing occurred, but because of the felony murder doctrine, he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Matthew had turned 18 only a month before the robbery and killing, meaning he is ineligible for resentencing under the U.S. Supreme Court decisions in Miller and Montgomery, which deemed mandatory life sentences for children to be unconstitutional. One of Matthew's co-defendants, who is two months younger him, has since been resentenced and released because of the decisions.

September 16, 1965. Cesar Chavez and the National Farmworkers Association have been plotting a Mexican-American labor strike for years, concentrating their efforts in the farming community of Delano, California. But just one week earlier, Filipino farmworkers decided to strike on their own, disrupting these carefully organized plans. So Mexican-American farmworkers and their families gather at a local church in Delano to hear whether Chavez has made a decision: will they join the Filipinos and strike, even if they might not be ready? The answer is a resounding yes. What happened when the Filipinos and Mexicans joined forces? And how did a labor movement started by farmworkers in a small California town take the nation by storm?Special thanks to Matthew Garcia, author of "From the Jaws of Victory: The Triumph and Tragedy of Cesar Chavez and the Farm Worker Movement."

In the 1870s, new farmsteads on the American plains were beset by enormous swarms of grasshoppers sweeping eastward from the Rocky Mountains. The insects were a disaster for vulnerable farmers, attacking in enormous numbers and devouring everything before them. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the grasshopper plagues and the settlers' struggles against them. We'll also delve into urban legends and puzzle over some vanishing children. Intro: In 2001, a Washington earthquake drew a rose with a pendulum. In 2003, Japanese web designer Nobuyuki Kayahara created a curiously ambiguous animation. Sources for our feature on the grasshopper plagues: Jeffrey A.

Matt Garcia’s artistic practice investigates ecology, its relationship to knowledge systems and how media can connect communities to a reclaiming or re-imagining of lost epistemology. Matthew Garcia is an assistant professor of Art and Design at Dominican University of California located in the San Francisco Bay Area and the founder of the interdisciplinary collective Desert ArtLAB. In 2010, Garcia established Desert ArtLAb to explore how a connection to desert ecology and art can foster a sense of belonging, empowerment, and self-determination. Garcia's work has been presented nationally and internationally at: Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (Paris, France), Museum of Contemporary Native Art - MoCNA (Santa Fe,NM), Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara ,The International Symposium on Electronic Art (2012,2015), Balance-Unbalance Festival (Noose, Australia) and HASTAC (Lima, Peru). Garcia is a 2016 Creative Capital awardee in Emerging Fields. Garcia's current project, The Desertification Cookbook, visually re-brands the concept of deserts not as a post-apocalyptic growth of wasteland, but as a culinary and ecological opportunity. The cookbook is a collection of bilingual community driven recipes, statements, strategies and actions for exploring, surviving, and belonging in the desert borderlands. The book mentioned in the interview is Eating the Landscape: American Indian Stories of Food, Identity, and Resilience by Enrique Salmón.

What is up everybody, welcome back to a new episode of the Power Up Podcast. in this weeks episode, Anthony Dennis and Taylor Evans are joined by Matthew Garcia and Sean Scalise to discuss the latest gaming news, trends, deals, games releasing, opinions and much more. First up, our leading topic for this week is the leaked specs for the upcoming PS5 console. A recent article shone a light on just how much punch the PS5 will deal and if it will rival the Xbox Anaconda. This was kind of a joint segment this bit where we also discussed the recent Anaconda release specs as well. Xbox has themselves detailed the specs of the new Xbox.The Anaconda & PS5 are said to pack an AMD 8 core Ryzen Processor, both are rumoured to be packing a Navi GPU. Both are also said to be packing an exuberant amount of ram and SSDs capable of 8 times the loading speed of the current Xbox One & PS4 consoles. Next up. The Xbox one S all Digital Edition (or Sad Edition for short as that is kind of what it is) This new Console from Microsoft is an Xbox One S console..... It is basically an Xbox One S (it even has the metal eject button for the disk drive and a space to insert your own drive) This console will Cost (And get this) MORE than a standard Xbox One S. So let me clarify, a console that does not include a Blu-ray player or any means to play games without a disk drive is more expensive than a Standard Xbox One S. let me ask one question, "What is Microsoft Thinking?" Following that riveting piece of news, Matt discusses the recent Notre Dame Assassins Creed Unity Giveaway as well as the server issues associated with the giveaway. As we all know, we all fell for the trap of downloading a free Assassins Creed game only to encounter severe server issues. Since this news broke. Ubisoft has since fixed the issue and you should be able to play the game without issue. Also in this weeks episode, Taylor discusses the recent stance that Sony has taken with censorship and gaming. A lot of IP's that are submitted to Sony to be displayed on the PS4 store and that is even going to be on the PS4 console is subject to be censored according to Sony. Is this something we think Sony has the right to do? What are your thoughts? Should Sony just leave the IP's as they are? Let us know in the comments below. Of course, those are just some of the conversations we had this week, make sure you listen to the whole episode for all the deets on Star Wars movies, Anime and more.

Rumours state that the next Assassins Creed title will be in a Viking setting and involve the Viking nation as a whole. Is this something we want to see?

A player created mod allows for an easy mode to be added to the game allowing for a bit of an easier challenge for those seeking to have a good time. Is this a good idea?

The Bracero Program began in 1942 as an agreement between the United States and Mexico to bring laborers to the U.S. to replace men who were leaving farms to fight in World War II. The program didn’t end with the war, however, it actually grew by hundreds of thousands of workers, and continued until 1964, laying the foundation for our current agricultural guest worker programs. Lindsey discusses the program's history, and its intersections with contemporary immigration, labor, and food justice issues with Dr. Matthew Garcia, professor of History and Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College.

Before National Geographic, before the Discovery Channel, Carleton Watkins set the standard for sweeping panoramic photographs of the American West, from vast Yosemite to booming San Francisco. Bob Sipchen, editor of Sierra magazine, leads a panel discussion based on the groundbreaking Getty Center exhibition, "Dialogue among Giants: Carleton Watkins and the Rise of Photography in California." Panelists include Getty Research Fellow Ken Gonzales-Day, UCSD historian Nayan Shah, and Matthew Garcia from Brown University. They explore the dynamic relationship between nature, immigration, and development. How does California's physical environment attract inhabitants and how has it been re-shaped by their efforts to build communities they can call home?
