To kick off the New Year, we are starting two new monthly segments.

Union News with Ken Zarifis will discuss the latest on union organizing. Ken is the president of Education Austin. This month, we talk with Ken about how he started getting involved in his union.

Environmental Justice with Marissa Rodriguez will cover the latest news on environmentalism and how it intersects with race, class, and global politics. This month, we discuss the tainted water supply of Green Tree Estates.

Finally, Tech for the People returns for the new year. We discuss Barr's attempt to circumvent encryption, location tracking, Stingrays, and the attempt to capitalize on .org domain names.
