Nisreen Abdel-Majid understands that fear doesn’t stop at a border, it travels through headlines, protests, and deeply personal moments. It did for her and her sister, which you'll hear about through this story.
As conversations around immigration enforcement and mass deportation intensify in the United States, Nisreen reflects on a moment in downtown Toronto when she and her sister were confronted by protesters asking for the same in Canada.
She’s joined by Rabia Khedr, National Director of Disability Without Poverty, who shares her perspective on how fear-driven narratives impact marginalized communities.
Ronald Sanchez, who is blind and lives in Chicago, speaks about the anxiety and uncertainty he felt as news of aggressive immigration enforcement unfolded in his city.
Julia Métraux, Reporter for Mother Jones, explains the specific realities of people living with disabilities through the political warfares of today's times, what there is to lose if we don't pay attention.
And Alia Abdel-Majid, Nisreen’s sister, recounts what it was like walking through that charged moment in Toronto.
Nisreen and her guests unravel how fear moves across countries, across communities, and into our everyday lives.
