The MeidasTouch Podcast · Anabel Mendoza on Chicagoans Fighting Back Against Trump · 29 Nov 2025 podcast

And I think you said it yourself just now that they are going after people in our communities who we know, who we love, who also take care of our city.

This week, I'm having an event where I'm going to be speaking with some of the parents from that same daycare where one of their students' teachers was ripped from the classroom in front of toddlers.

This is exactly what's happening.

And it is not only instilling fear, but I think really what is important to focus on is the solidarity that is being built out of this moment.

The Trump administration

wants to pit working people against each other they want working families to fight over scraps while people can't pay their rent can't pay for groceries their health care premiums are going to go up in the next year exponentially and when we're fighting against each other we're not looking at the fact that they continue to get richer off of our expense and so this is a moment where we need to elect leaders who are going to fight that's why i'm running because i have been extremely disheartened

by the Democratic establishment that to me has seeded the issue of immigration completely to Republicans, has allowed them to define the issue.

And the reality is immigration is not just an immigrant issue.

It is all of our issues.

We are seeing the fact that these raids

are impacting our local economy immensely.

Not only with workers being detained, but small businesses are feeling the impact of that.

Less customers coming into their small businesses because they're afraid to go out of their homes.

That also means less workers.

So this has a ripple effect on all of us.

And that is the thing that I really want people to understand in this moment is that as we take action, as we stand in solidarity with immigrant communities, it's because immigrants are inherently part of the city of Chicago and our country.

Yeah, I want viewers to know that, yes, I am the youngest candidate in this race, but it means that I have the most energy, the most urgency of this moment, and I have worked in the immigrant rights movement for years on the front lines battling this exact administration problem.

What we are seeing, what has unfolded in the streets of Chicago, but also in cities like LA, in Charlotte, this has been going on for years.

It may not have been live streamed on our phones, but I, along with other leaders in the immigrant rights movement have been fighting on the front lines to protect our communities against the violent overreach.

And also to make sure that our taxpayer dollars don't go to this, but actually go into the resources that our communities need to thrive.
