Hey, Prolls, listeners, this is part three of three on a mini series of the Chicagoland Ice Raids of Winter 2025, a subset of the show's

regular Community Resistance series. Today we're closing out with an interview from social worker

Giselle Rodriguez of the non-profit Illinois Workers in Action. If she sounds tired, it's because

she was waiting through grant reporting for several hours

just before the call, and her small team has been working hard across Illinois, hosting

Know Your Rights seminars, one of which I attended. It's information highly relevant to everyone,

I'm going to go on on a limb and assume that a majority of proles listeners have citizenship status,

but the critical info you learn here can help a neighbor in need when the clinking of cuffs

comes knocking on their door. If you're in Illinois,

go check them out. If not, look for your local immigrants' rights group and learn more.

After the interviews, stick around for some closing thoughts. But for now, Giselle Rodriguez

of Illinois Workers in Action. For the Poor Proz Almanac, I'm Dominic Guanzan and I'm joined here over Zoom call.

After a lot of scheduling, I want to thank you for your time, Giselle Rodriguez, of the

Illinois Workers in Action.

Thank you so much for your time.

Thank you, Dominic, for having me.

And thank you for being patient. No, absolutely. I understand. I attended your seminar a few weeks ago,

know your rights seminar, and it was very eye-opening. And it was, and even though I'm a native-born

citizen, it was still very important for to know a lot of the stuff to really go kind of like step-by-step

process onto like hey what to do and yeah the rights that people have regardless of their

of their status but yeah actually let's go into your background and the story of the iWA
