This week, Austin City Council will be voting on two resolutions pertaining to the fightback against Texas SB4, the draconian anti-immigration bill that made national news for its infringement on immigrant rights last year. What is at stake with the City Council vote on these items, and what precedent might that set for cities and organizations working to push back against attacks on immigrant communities at the local level?

We are joined by Chris Harris, a data analyst and campaign coordinator; and Rebecca Sanchez, immigration organizer and visual projects coordinator. Both work with Grassroots Leadership. Grassroots Leadership is a non-profit that works for a more just society where prison profiteering, mass incarceration, deportation and criminalization are things of the past.
