211/ Organizing Against ICE w/ Nicole Bedera, Ed & Aydin

Elia Ayoub is joined by three folks from Minneapolis, sociologist Nicole Bedera and From The Periphery's very own Aydin and Ed from Antidote Zine, to talk about the ongoing resistance against the federal occupation of the state of Minnesota by ICE. What is happening? How are they resisting? What can we learn from it, here in the UK and elsewhere? Nicole also explained what 'symbolic compliance' means and why we must all be aware of it.You can support Elia's work with a one-off or monthly donation on Ko-fi.LinksNicole's article: I’m a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence.
