It’s been quite a week in LA, Goatees. Between heartless ICE raids, the fear-inducing National Guard and Marines deployment, and neighbors being disappeared off the streets without warning or due process, it’s been hard not to fall into a deep hole of despair and anger. AND it’s been incredible to see the incredible people of Los Angeles rise to the occasion and advocate on the behalf of community members who have been harassed by ICE. Roxy and Priska jump on to share what it’s been like during this heartbreaking week in Los Angeles, the galvanizing protests—both local and nationwide, and resources to help your community during these trying times.
