My guest this week is journalist and activist Tracy Rosenthal, author of a terrific long piece at the new issue of a favorite online journal, Hammer & Hope, where they report on ICE raids in Los Angeles by way of the incredible Los Angeles Tenants Union (LATU). Rosenthal is a frequent contributor to The New Republic, The Nation, the LA Times and is the author, with Leonardo Vilchis, of Abolish Rent: How Tenants Can End The Housing Crisis, published by Haymarket. Rosenthal was a co-founder of the LA Tenants Union. Read the entire article, “Immigration Raids at This Home Depot Got More Aggressive but Less Effective.
