Beatrice speaks with Minneapolis organizers Jonathan Stegall and Anne Kosseff-Jones about how the last few months of anti-ICE organizing and mutual aid work in Minnesota built directly on the foundations laid during the 2020 uprisings, why the twin cities still need support even after the announcement of a “draw down,” and lessons to take forward with us. Note: Shortly after this episode was recorded it was reported that closer to 650 ICE officers remain in Minnesota, not 500 as stated in the episode.

Beatrice and Tracy speak with Zoie and Kevin of the LA Tenants Union about their work organizing community defense against raids by ICE and Border Patrol, how they came to set up the first Centro de Defensa Communitaria, and lessons they can share for other organizers wanting to take on the same work as ICE raids expand across the US. This episode was originally released December 4th and is being re-aired today as ICE continues to be a pressing threat and as organizers in places like Minneapolis grapple with how to keep momentum up as months go on and as the national spotlight moves away.

This episode was originally released in fall 2023 and is being re-aired today in light of discourse surrounding carceral approaches to public space and recent attacks on the term "carceral sanism" itself. To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod Beatrice, Liat Ben-Moshe, and Leah Harris discuss the increasing wave of policies and legislation, from Eric Adams’ stance on involuntary hospitalization to Gavin Newsom’s Care Courts, that seek to criminalize madness and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They also discuss why it is so critical for the left to work against these policies, and how to understand the politics of what we have termed “carceral sanism.” This episode was originally recorded live as part of the 2023 Socialism Conference, organized by Haymarket Books.
