The Immigrant "Race": Part 2 with Jacinta Gonzalez 

Amy Herzog

Playing for Team Human today: immigrant rights activists Jacinta Gonzalez and Amy Herzog.Jacinta and Amy will be showing us why the people living in Queens, New York may not want to welcome Amazon’s HQ2 with open arms. With Amazon poised to deliver on lucrative government contracts for surveillance and immigration enforcement technologies, Jacinta and Amy make it clear that the stakes are higher than just rising rents and gentrification.On today’s episode we’ll take a hard look at Amazon’s “cloud industrial complex.” We’ll look at how surveillance technologies like Amazon’s Rekognition are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to programs that antagonize vulnerable communities. Jacinta and Amy give Team Human listeners a critical and concrete look at the multiple intersections between our technology giants, police-state enforcement policies, and the long history of corporate profiteering on the backs of marginalized peoples. Jacinta Gonzalez is field director for Mijente, a group organizing Latinx communities around issues of immigration, detention, and deportation. Mijente has a wealth of resources and information. To learn more about the Cloud Industrial Complex, check out Mijente’s report Who’s Behind Ice and link back to Mijente.net for links to more actions, petitions, and ways to get involved. https://ice.tech.blog/ is also a tremendous hub of information about the growing relationship between big tech and lucrative government contracts to equip ICE.Amy Herzog is a media historian whose research spans a broad range of interdisciplinary subjects.
