Last spring, The Show spoke with editorial cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz about a new campaign he was working on to battle COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and misinformation in the Latino community — specifically among migrant farmworkers.

He ended up creating 15 cartoons, along with an animation; he also did some similar work for the state of California.

The Show spoke with Alcaraz again to see how the projects went and what he learned.
