York Students Lead Anti‑ICE Walkouts as Spring Weather and Seasonal Insights Take Center Stage

from The Spark · host WITF, Inc.

(00:00:00) We spotlight student activism in York, where William Penn High School students organized powerful walkouts protesting increased ICE enforcement and advocating for classmates living in fear of deportation. Their grassroots movement - sparked by a single social media post - has inspired students across multiple districts to join in solidarity. We break down how the protests grew, why students felt compelled to speak out, and the personal stories driving their courage. (00:11:48) Then, we shift gears as meteorologist Dan Tomaso dives into the latest weather patterns and what to expect as winter transitions toward warmer days. (00:23:26) Finally, Erica Jo Shaffer helps us welcome spring with fresh insights, seasonal inspiration, and what this time of year means for our community.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
