BONUS: Justin Salhani on Creating Refugee Soccer Leagues

Host Musa Okwonga is joined by friend and Al Jazeera journalist Justin Salhani to discuss building community and solidarity among refugee populations through the creation of soccer leagues. With Socrates and The Corinthian Democracy as inspiration, Justin looks to the field to create a microcosm of the political dreams he hopes to see realized more broadly. Our Copa is hosted by Merritt Mathias, Musa Okwonga, and Julio Ricardo Varela Produced by Emma Foley and executive produced by Carrie Tolles and Clarke Sondermann of TCB PR with support from Working Families Power and Mijente Support Committee.
