Summary
Afeni is an activist and community organizer based in Washington D.C. who was recently brutalized and detained by her city’s police just for filming.
Afeni joins our hosts, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross to tell the story of her arrest and what federal control of D.C. means for the resistance to Trump’s crackdown. We get a peak inside the life of an activist and a critical perspective on the city’s current governance.
