Episode 41 - Explaining Dia de Los Muertos in the Time of Covid with Union Civica VP Theresa Gomez

Putting a picture on an ofrenda is a helpful way to grieve a lost loved one in the ritual of Dia de los Muertos. Celebrating the Mexican holiday (or the lack of it) has taken on a new meaning in the time of COVID. The death of so many has amplified the traditions, as many have passed as a result of this pandemic, and in these times it hurts to call it a celebration.  We talk with La UNion Civica Mexicana Vice President Theresa Gomez and her bout with the disease and why she advocates for the Vacine. Bobby DeLeon of the Mexican American Council and Gilberto Guevara of the American GI Forum also join us to encourage everyone to get the Covid vaccines.
