Farm workers, farmers and advocates all gathered at two events in Washington's capital, all working to get lawmakers attention about a new agriculture overtime law.

An annual tribunal defended farmworkers rights and the law in Olympia last week.

A separate rally focused on the negative impacts of the law.

Now, as of last month, farmworkers have to receive overtime payment for hours worked over 40 hours.

However, some workers are telling us that they're actually getting less money now.

You can hear more from organizers of the events and farmworkers in the full feature article on our website.

Now to a look inside a camp in Clarkston, Washington.

Dozens of people are living there on a strip of land owned by the city.

Our team here at Northwest Public Broadcasting, in partnership with the Lewiston Tribune, went into the camp to hear from the people living there.

Here's a look at some of that story.

Wake up.

Try to keep it clean.

Try to keep the peace between people.

Now that it's getting colder, it's going to be a little bit harder to get everybody out and about pick up and stuff.

It's rough.

It's hard.

It was not my plan.

Spokanes Black newspaper, The Black Lens, is back this weekend.

It first launched back in 2015 and its founder died about two years ago.

Since then Sandy Williams family has been working to revive the paper and continue its mission of giving readers thoughtful discussion around civil rights and race issues.

Here is the paper's interim leader, a local attorney, Natasha Hill.

By putting it into ownership of a nonprofit that's community owned, it's not going to be reliant on advertising dollars to be sustainable.

And so that gives it that opportunity to really grow and be shaped by the community.

The Black Lens plans to hire a full time race and equity reporter.

You'll be able to subscribe to the Black Lens and sign up for a newsletter for breaking news and local events.
