Irvine -- Josie Montoya, the community activist who was laid to rest today in Anaheim, devoted her whole life to social change. On today's edition of Subversity, who chat with two activists who worked with her and we'll discuss her legacy, to Anaheim and to Orange County.

Ceja is a long-time community activist in Anaheim who was one of the pallbearers at this morning's services for Josie at St. Boniface Church in Anaheim.

Earl will also discuss his continuing work mobilizing hotel workers in Orange County.
