Albino Garcia is the Executive Director and Founder of La Plazita Institute.

In this episode, Albino gives a rich history of how La Plazita came into existence. He discusses La Plazita's philosophies of "La Cultura Cura" and how they are healing formally incarcerated youth and families through connecting them to the land.

He encourages organizers and movement workers to continue to take care of your community first, and the rest will follow.
