The Social Primate Podcast

In this week's episode, we delve into the impactful work of the late Dr. Roberto ‘Cintli’ Rodríguez, alongside Ivette Boyzo with La Raza Database Project. This project aims to accurately document Latinos killed by U.S. law enforcement. During our conversation, we dissect Roberto Camacho's insightful article "The Heavy Toll" on Palabra and shed a much-needed spotlight on underrepresented cases of Latinos killed by U.S. law enforcement. Ivette's meticulous documentation efforts bring visibility to these tragedies, revealing shocking statistics and highlighting the urgent need for accurate reporting.

Meanwhile, Roberto's narrative adds a human dimension to the data, fostering empathy and understanding for the lives lost. Together, their work amplifies the voices of those affected by police violence, bringing attention to overlooked injustices and advocating for meaningful change.
