Donald Trump is once again leaning into strongman tactics, sharing a social media meme over the weekend that threatened to “wage war” on Chicago. The post, part of his broader crackdown rhetoric on Democratic-led cities, is mobilizing communities to fight back. In this episode, we speak with Chairman Fred Hampton, Jr., a Chicago-based community organizer, activist, and son of the Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton and Aislinn Pulley, co-executive director of the Chicago Torture Justice Center. We also speak with Kevin Fee, legal director of the ACLU Illinois.
Our Resistance in Residence artist this week is singer/songwriter Diana Gameros. Diana is a San Francisco based musician who hails from Mexico and uses her voice to advocate for undocumented immigrants in the US. Check out her music here https://www.dianagameros.com/
