Rights Action recommends: Under the Shadow & Stories of Resistance podcasts
This investigative podcast series takes listeners across Latin America to the scenes of some of the region’s most devastating, revolutionary, and historic moments. In Year 1, independent journalist Michael Fox did a deep dive into the past of Central America, uncovering the history of US intervention and its lingering effects in the region today. Year 2 is responding, in real time, to the Trump Administration’s onslaught in Latin America.
Year 2, Episode 1: “Trump’s piracy in the Caribbean won’t end with Venezuela”
Under the Shadow is produced in partnership with The Real News Network and the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA). Rights Action recommends listening to Year 1, in lead-up to all Year 2.

This podcast series features vignettes pulled from journalist Michael Fox’s 20 years of interviews, research, and reporting from across the Americas. Each week, Michael and his team bring stories that remind us of the struggles that have come before, and the ones we are living now. Inspiration for dark times.
Each episode is an example of investigative journalism, prose, poetry, historical memory, reflection on struggle—and, above all, story. Stories about workers’ struggles; resistance to dictatorship; alternative media; Indigenous and environmental organizing; and more.
Rights Action recommends listening the entire series of these Eduardo Galeano-inspired vignettes for a Trump 2.0 world.
