After the Uprising: Reflections from Minneapolis on Solidarity with Political Prisoners Montez Lee & José Felan

Montez Lee and José Felan are the two political prisoners still locked up from their presence in the streets of Minneapolis during the 2020 George Floyd Uprising. This episode features a conversation with Cory and SK, from Minneapolis Uprising Prisoner Support, and Kira, Montez's attorney, about the legal repression that followed the city being lit on fire. It also includes a brief message from José himself. You'll hear reflections about arrestee and prisoner support, what Montez & José have been through since 2020, how you can be in solidarity, and what movements today can learn from this instance of repression.
