It’s hard to miss the day laborers lined up on street corners across the Bay Area. But these workers’ diverse personal histories are not so obvious. “Voices of the Undocumented” by two volunteers at the Day Worker Center of Mountain View records the stories of nine Bay Area day laborers. We’ll discuss the book and hear from one of the workers highlighted in its pages.

Guests:

Val Rosenfeld, co-author, "Voices of the Undocumented"; teaches English language classes at Mountain View Day Worker Center

Maria Marroquin, executive director, Day Worker Center of Mountain View

Jose Luiz Rodriguez, day laborer based in the South Bay
