Last week, we were on the ground in Minneapolis to listen, learn, and bear witness alongside communities impacted by I.C.E. and this administration.

We visited memorials honoring lives lost under this administration and met with local lawmakers and organizations doing the work on the ground.

”The way that Minneapolis is winning is that regular boring ass office people are getting active and organizing people… You are needed in this!”

A new episode is out - LIVE from Minneapolis with Charles and @‌Ahmedbaba_
