Anna Gifty chatted with me about PhD programs when I was an anxious little predoc at UChicago in 2024. Her audacity is quite contagious, and I’ve been living my unabashedly audacious, beautiful life ever since.

They were considered dangerous men with dangerous ideas — the belief that workers deserved fair hours and fair wages, that discrimination against Mexican laborers had to end, and that democracy should extend to both sides of the dividing line between Mexico and the United States.

Watch the movie. Then read my book.

The ILWU (longshore and warehouse) was one of the first labor unions to integrate undocumented workers from Central America in the 1980s, and openly oppose Salvadoran military dictatorships

To suggest they “just became woke” is a profound insult to the organizers and workers who built that history

List of Minnesota businesses closing for Jan. 23 anti-ICE strike First announced by faith leaders and unions on Jan. 13, Minnesota businesses have begun announcing plans to join the action.

1000+ Minnesota small businesses joined hands with faith communities, labor unions, community orgs.. to support Friday's general strike.

It was a risky, costly, & powerfully helpful choice. They supported me in the breach and I will support them.
