About this episode
In response to arrests of street vendors and day laborers by federal immigration authorities, thousands of volunteers have mobilized to ‘adopt’ a street corner. KQED’s labor correspondent Farida Jhabvala Romero takes us to one corner in East Oakland to meet the volunteers offering their time to watch out for ICE and Border Patrol agents.
