In this first episode of Green Card Voices’ new series, host Mahlet Aschenaki and podcast manager Asha Thanki sit down with Joy Marsh Stephens, Tomme Beevas, and Jeff Aguy to discuss their personal relationships to organizing, their efforts in the ongoing movement for Black liberation, and the steps they think must be taken next.
Bridging public and private domains, Joy discusses the changes she sees structurally and culturally at the city government level; Tomme dives into the mutual aid work centered at his restaurant, Pimento Jamaican Kitchen, and his support for on-the-ground organizers; and Jeff analyzes how entrepreneurs and financial support of organizers and political candidates can help allies put their money where their mouth is.

ABOUT THIS SPECIAL SERIES:
Green Card Voices is based in the Twin Cities, and, after the police murder of George Floyd, we are pivoting our platform to elevate Black voices and direct our listeners toward resources and actions they can take today to benefit the movement for Black liberation. Throughout this series, we highlight the work of local organizers while addressing how different immigrant and cultural communities can better align with the movement to take actions beyond a performative allyship and better act in solidarity with our Black communities.
