How We Fight for Immigrant Rights: An Interview with Silky Shah

In this episode, Left Voice editor Samuel Karlin interviews immigrant rights activist and writer Silky Shah about the growing attacks on immigrants. They discuss the root causes of migration, the divisive narrative of “good” and “bad” immigrants, and how both parties have helped build the war on immigrants in recent years. Most importantly, Silky explains how we resist these attacks through unity across movements and countries, and by fighting U.S. militarism and deportations.To read a transcribed version of this interview: https://www.leftvoice.org/immigrants-have-become-the-target-interview-with-silky-shah/Read Silky Shah's book, Unbuild Walls: Why Immigrant Justice Needs AbolitionLearn More:- To Stop Deportations, We Need a Mass Movement of the Working Class and Oppressed- Trump's War on Immigrants Pulls from a Long U.S. History of Creating Domestic Enemies- "It's Time for Us to Speak Up and to Demand Better": Interview with an Undocumented ActivistSupport Left Voice on PatreonFollow Left Voice on social media!
