Today at 1 p.m. EST, Girldrive interviewee Veronica Arreola will be hosting a discussion here with Ana Roca Castro, Catherine Singley, and Marisa Treviño about how the recession has affected Latino families, and specifically the roles of their matriarchs. Here’s the description:

The Great Recession has impacted every family and Latino families are no different. Or has it been different? Join in the conversation as four Latinas from policy, punditry and community organizing discuss the impact of the recession on Latino families. What does a Latino worker look like? What are the contributions of Latino workers to the economy? Can the government do more to encourage job creation? As more Latinas take on more jobs, who is caring for their children? How are Latino families changing to make room for Latinas who brings home the bacon?
