Today we come to you live from the First Unitarian Society of Denver, where activist, union organizer, and mother Jeanette Vizguerra is living in sanctuary. Jeanette was recently named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People, and is now suing ICE to block her deportation. We discuss her case, as well as her work with the Metro Denver Sanctuary Coalition. We are also joined by Greg Mortimer of Casa de Paz, an organization that sends volunteers to visit with prisoners in Aurora, Colorado's for-profit ICE detention center.
