Shownotes Transcript

How will Puerto Rico recover from Hurricane Maria after years of economic downturn? We tip our hats to Topos, the elite Mexican rescue team, and to Gov. Gina Raimondo for her work toward helping DACA recipients in Rhode Island. But why are DACA activists and protesters disrupting town halls sponsored by Democrats? And what's in a name: Is 'Latinx' the term of the future? All that and more on this week's Latinx roundtable! Guests: Julio Ricardo Varela, of Latino Rebels, Latino USA and the "In the Thick" podcast; and Marcela Garcia, of the Boston Globe.
