Host: Land Justice Futures
Come join us in conversation with Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquín, a Guatemalan-born, Minnesota-based farmer and organizer, as we discuss the links between immigration, imperialism, and land justice issues. We’ll contextualize the state violence we are witnessing through ICE, discuss the structural root causes of immigration, and learn about the immigrant-led regenerative agriculture community that is grounded in Indigenous practice and is leading local resistance and resilience efforts in the face of rising fascism.
