Episode 4 – This Is What Democracy Sounds Like

Published on October 29, 2018 in Politics/Remember the Show! by Hector Luis Alamo

Hector chats with Byron Sigcho, an Ecuadorian immigrant activist and community organizer running for alderman in Chicago’s 25th ward. Byron is also the executive director of the Pilsen Alliance, a group working to protect working-class residents from displacement.

You can catch him on Twitter at @ByronSigcho, or follow his campaign’s Facebook page at @SigchoFor25.

Hector is the editor and publisher of Enclave. A Chicago writer now floating on the edge of Las Vegas, he is also the former deputy editor for Latino Rebels, as well as the former managing editor for Gozamos, a Latino art-activism site based in his home town. He has contributed to RedEye, a Chicago daily geared toward millennials, and La Respuesta, a New York-based site for the Puerto Rican Diaspora, plus a number of publications, including The Huffington Post. He studied history (for some reason) at the University of Illinois-Chicago, where his focus was on ethnic relations in the United States.
