Building Intersectional Solidarity In Chicago: ‘We Don’t Live Single-Issue Lives’

Intersectional solidarity is an approach to activism where different identity groups join together to fight oppressive forces. In honor of Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Month, In the Loop explores how other marginalized communities can show up for Asian Americans and how Asian Americans can stand arm-in-arm with them. To find out more about ways Chicagoans can work toward unity, In the Loop sits down with HANA Center executive director Danae Kovac, Latinos Progresando chief programs officer Nubia Willman, and the Rev. Jaime Fluker, the executive director of Southsiders Organized for Unity and Liberation. For a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.
