Rising Up With Sonali 5am

Rising Up In the Streets: Rally Against Family Separation and Detention

Donald Trump has signed an executive order ending his own practice of separating undocumented children from their parents only to cement the indefinite detention of whole families. On our show today we’ll go to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office in Los Angeles where people gathered on Thursday demanding an end to the cruelty aimed at vulnerable immigrants. Then, we’ll turn to one of the co-chairs of the Poor People’s Campaign, Reverend Graylen Hagler who joins us to discuss the local activism that has taken place all over the country over the past 40 days and what is expected to happen in Washington DC this Saturday. Finally, our partners at Brave New Films have released a new short film with the California Endowment called The Crime of California’s Punishment Economy. We’ll share the film with you.

Hosted by Sonali Kolhatkar.
