As ICE crackdowns and federal troop deployments continue to affect Blue cities nationwide, we check in with Damon Williams from Chicago. Damon is a movement builder, organizer, performing artist, educator, media creator and co-director of #LetUsBreathe Collective, an artistic activist organization birthed out of the Ferguson uprising. Next, we hear from Portland’s Anna Wilcox. Anna is a multimedia journalist with Portland’s KBOO who has been covering the protests at Portland’s ICE facility. Finally, as Trump threatens to send National Guard troops to San Francisco, we hear from Bay Rising’s Jane Martin. Bay Rising, a regional coalition of grassroots organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area that works to build political power among working-class communities and communities of color.
