Minneapolis Town Hall Highlights

Some of our favorite moments from Tuesday’s town hall in Minneapolis, including a conversation with local faith leaders, a rallying cry from Minnesota's attorney general, Keith Ellison, and a poignant history lesson from Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan. Music by Thomasina Petrus.    

 

On January 27th, Native Land Pod hosted a town hall in Minneapolis in solidarity with the local community, which has been under threat from ICE and CBP agents.
