About This Episide

This is the official first podcast of Buen Hombre hosted by longtime human rights activist Enrique Morones, now the executive director and founder of GenteUnida.net.  GenteUnida.net is a non-profit human rights advocacy group based in San Diego, California. And what an auspicious day. César Chavez day is an American federal commemorative holiday, César Chavez day is an American federal commemorative holiday observed every year on March 31. It is a state holiday in 10 states, such as California, Arizona and Colorado, where schools and state offices are closed, and people get the day off work.

This day celebrates the birthday and work of civil rights and labor movement leader César Chávez. Hugo Castro is a courageous humanitarian who has worked for decades to protect the lives and well being of migrants on both sides of the US Border. He has worked in shelters in Tijuana, and has been a guide, friend and advocate for many in their times of need. Hugo is an American Citizen born to migrant farm working parents. Hugo’s life was greatly influenced by the lives and work of Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. It is fitting that this interview that allows us to take a look at his many accomplishments and trials falls on this day. Hugo’s spirit is indomitable, it is our hope at Gente Unida that his message touches your heart as it has ours. Please share our new podcast with your friends and family.
