What you need to know about immigration and unemployment (w/ Karina Villada & Juan Vargas Alba)

In the wake of the successful inclusion of a Youth Climate Corps pilot in the 2025 federal budget, Juan Vargas Alba (co-lead of the Youth Climate Corps campaign) interviews community organizer Karina Villada about the myths and scapegoating around immigration, migrant workers and (youth) unemployment.

This episode functions as a resource for young organizers who want to understand issues of immigration and encourages the climate movement to stand in solidarity with the migrant rights movement.
