RGV Greens at the People’s Debate

This episode is a discussion with the RGV Greens on September 30, 2022, during the Texas Governor Debate, where they answered the debate questions and presented the RGV and Green perspective at the People’s Debate.

We were located outside the UTRGV Edinburg campus where Democrat Beto O’Rourke and Republican Gregg Abbott were performing their one and only so-called “debate” for the ruling class, their donors, and their media.

The good thing is we have grassroots movements pushing back against the “one evil party with two names” and are platforming socialism for the people of Texas.

I was joined by Aly and Gloria, two volunteers of the RGV Greens, representing the Green Party, and Delilah Barrios for Governor of Texas.

The People’s Debate is an opportunity for the Green Party to raise its voice and interact with the people. To let the people know about their campaign and platform in person and online.

Days of Festivals

We are joined with EJ in the studio to discuss a traditional annual celebration that happens here in Brownsville, Texas. According to the entity that organizes this yearly event, the celebration was “born to lift community spirits during difficult times” of the great depression.

In 2018, it was the 81st Anniversary of this bi-national friendship and respect for traditions. During the last days of Charro Days is Sombrero Fest. The weekend where all the music, festival food, friends and family are join together in one park to drink, eat, and have fun as a community.

We discussed the history of Charro Days and Sombrero Fest. What made them different from each other and what to expect if you are not from around here when going to these festivities. During the episode, EJ reminded Patrick of a experience that happened to both of them during a 2004 Charro Day Parade. Due to the surprise story, Patrick invited Joey to provide some clarity to it.
