What the LA Protests Against ICE Are Really Like — From Local Organizers
This week on The Dugout, we sit down with two organizers and artists, Peter (@handsomeherbivore) and Anahi, based in Southern California, to discuss the intensified presence of ICE and other law enforcement agencies, and the community-led responses emerging in their wake. From the streets of LA to the grassroots of neighborhood rapid response networks, they take us inside the layered challenges of resisting fascist state violence.
We talk about how organizers are adapting to militarization, surveillance, and fear-mongering, while holding space for care, communication, and mutual aid. Peter and Anahi also reflect on the powerful role of Lopez Urban Farm as a community site of resistance and nourishment.
This episode maps the terrain of struggle in Southern California, from on-the-ground organizing to lessons in long-term resilience. Whether you're looking to plug in, learn from seasoned organizers, or understand how regional context shapes community defense, this conversation is urgent, raw, and rooted in solidarity.
