In this episode we’re talking with Sr. Norma Pimentel who is executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley to learn more about the realities of life at the United States southern border. It’s a timely topic as we’ve just marked Immigration Sunday Minnesota which coincided with World Day of Migrants and Refugees on Sunday, September 27th.

In our mailbag segment we’re covering a question about the ethical development of vaccines and particularly a concern with a covid-19 vaccine.

And stick around for the bricklayer segment we have details on video of a very powerful discussion about confronting racism.
