Last Week This Morning: Resilience in the desert
By Emily Kirkland
Resilience in the desert. One Arizona tells the story of the fight against Arizona’s infamous racial profiling law, SB1070, and everything that’s happened in the decade since.

“This is where we are.” Tarana Burke and Rebecca Traister offer their thoughts as the progressive movement grapples with Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden.
“This company failed us”. Workers at Amazon, Target, Instacart and other companies organized strikes on Friday to demand better pay and working conditions, including protective equipment and paid time off.
Help undocumented families make it through. The Arizona Undocumented Workers Relief Fund will help undocumented families, many of who don’t qualify for stimulus checks or unemployment, meet their basic needs. Donate now—One Arizona is matching all gifts up to $50,000.
