It's the Beyond Allyship season finale conversation! Please subscribe to the podcast, listen to all our amazing past conversations, and be ready for when Green Card Voices steps further into the new decade with bold feet and clear eyes with more voices speaking to the role of immigrants, refugees, and diaspora peoples in shaping the quickening currents of our messy world.

Podcast manager Asha Thanki sits down with Sergio and MaryAnne Quiroz to talk about how they, as Indigenous and Asian American artists and activists, collaborate with the movement for Black liberation.

Their nonprofit, Indigenous Roots Cultural Center, is not only a collaborative space for artists but also became a major mutual aid station for the East Side of St. Paul. Sergio and MaryAnne discuss the ways in which their art is inseparable from their activism, the ways in which they’re participating in conversations around colorism and anti-Blackness in their communities, and the deep ties to ancestry through the work they do in the community. Check out our sixth episode -- the last one of this season -- to hear more about why both Sergio and MaryAnne are hopeful for the future.

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.
