On today’s show we speak with Marisa Almor with East Bay Sanctuary Covenant about what their organization is doing to support immigrants as we move into another US Trump presidency, anticipating anti-immigrant legislation and deportation regime.
Marisa Almor speaks about two upcoming events at La Peña Cultural Center – the first on January 12, arming allies with reliable information about how to protect sanctuary communities from federal targeting. Then, on January 15th, East Bay Sanctuary Covenant will be leading a discussion and a few days later on January 19th, a workshop, aimed at immigrant community members who need assistance in clarifying their immigration status (there will be legal consultation available in different languages).

Then, we speak with Alexandra Cock, a lawyer representing Chief Doug Stankewitz, the US’ longest-held death row prisoner, whose latest appeal in late December was denied after more than 40 years of incarceration.
This week’s Resistance in Residence artist is pianist, trumpeter, composer, and music producer who dabbles on the borders of jazz and hip hop, Javier Santiago.
