This week we focus on resistance!! In our main topic, we delve into just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to indigenous resistance and then we interview Marlén Paredes, who organizes for Cosecha in New Jersey, about local organizing and resistance to get some insight on how we can resist oppressive systems in our daily lives.
