Beyond Allyship Ep 3: “No Easy Sacrifices” ft. 18MR.org's Laura Li and MPower Change's Kifah Shah
⚠️WARNING⚠️: no easy conversations ahead, and yet so much to gain.
Ready or not, welcome to the movement. 🖤🌱
In the third episode of Green Card Voices’ new series, host Mahlet Aschenaki and podcast manager Asha Thanki sit down with campaign managers Laura Li (18 Million Rising) and Kifah Shah (MPower Change) to talk about their personal relationships to organizing, advice for newcomers on how to get involved, and the importance of knowing your history.
Laura gives us a crash course on the relationship between Asian American and Black Americans’ social justice alignment, and Kifah highlights the importance of Muslim Black history in the U.S. The takeaway from both guests is clear: Organizing and social justice work takes dedication and time. Newcomers, buckle your seatbelts and prepare to dedicate the rest of your lives to this work.

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.
