FEATURING PROF KENT WONG - Donald Trump’s program of mass deportation is going strong in Los Angeles and around the nation. On July 7, about a hundred Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents descended on Los Angeles’s immigrant-rich neighborhood of MacArthur Park, right by a children’s summer camp. Mayor Karen Bass denounced the action saying it amounted to “a city under siege, under armed occupation.”
✍️EXCLUSIVE FOR our paid subscribers: a rough transcript of this interview below the video!But, with a compliant Congress and a complicit Supreme Court, Trump and his anti-immigrant machine appear to have free rein over the nation’s democratic institutions.
Among the most effective activist tactics from the nation’s dark past is nonviolent direct action that has its roots in the civil rights movement. Is it time to revive this practice in the face of fascism?
If you live in the LA area, there will be a nonviolent direct action training at the LA Convention Center on July 10.
