On our first episode, we talk with immigrant-rights activist Ravi Ragbir and his partner Amy Gottlieb, about not only their current organizing to stop Ravi’s deportation, but how they stay centered and support each other. Ravi is the Executive Director of the New Sanctuary Coalition, and Amy is an Associate Regional Director for the American Friends Service Committee. Ravi has been fighting his own deportation order since 2006, and was recently detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement following a regularly scheduled check-in.

Episode 1: Fighting ICE’s State Repression: Interview with Ravi Ragbir and Amy Gottlieb

On episode 22 of “The Activist Files,” Donita Judge, Center for Constitutional Rights’ associate executive director, talks about reparations for Blacks with Dr. Ron Daniels, president of the National African American Reparations Commission, and past executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, and Marbre Stahly-Butts, executive director of Law 4 Black Lives and a member of the leadership team of the Movement For Black Lives Policy Table, who helped develop the Vision for Black Lives Policy Platform. 
Ron and Marbre discuss their respective platforms that demand for reparations for Black people – how they overlap and differ – the shifts in H.R. 40, the commission to study and develop reparations proposals for African-Americans Act, how tools, such as the New York Times’ 1619 Project and Ta-Neishi Coates’ “The Case for Reparations” published in The Atlantic, have caused a surge in the reparations movement; and the obligation for continue the work for reparations for Black people based of the legacy of activists who have been in this space since before the Civil War.
