Podcast host Rosemary Armao talks with another stand-out activist who’ve gone into action against the Trump administration — Marianna Achlaoug of Albany Indivisible. A state worker, the 28-year-old began resisting authority as a teen with her mother fighting fracking in Schoharie County. She is expert at rousing crowds with chants over a bullhorn.

Marianna Achlaoug, 28, is a community organizer and civil rights advocate who believes that in the fight for justice, there can be no peace without accountability. A state worker, she holds degrees from UAlbany  in Communication and Anthropology. Currently serving as Chair of Organizing for Indivisible Albany, she has a track record of turning community opposition into tangible results. Most notably, she served as the lead organizer for the Albany chapter of the Coalition to Stop Avelo, a national grassroots campaign that pressured Avelo to end deportation flights under a contract with Homeland Security. When not drafting mass informational emails for community partners, speaking at rallies or yelling into a bullhorn, you can find her at singing and dance lessons, theater and classic cinema.
