Dear Comment Section: Solidarity with Migrants Isn’t a Distraction–It’s a Strategy | Native Land Pod

Another installment in the ongoing debate between the Native Land Pod hosts (Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum) and members of our audience about whether or not we ought to stand in solidarity with migrants.

We love being in conversation with y’all, even when we disagree. And we’re ten toes down on this one: solidarity with migrants is not a distraction–it’s a strategy to get the best outcome for US, Black & Brown folks. And yeah, we are serious about folks out there building self-sufficient “utopic” Black communities.
