On April 17, 2026 in North Minneapolis, Ricardo joined fellow movement elders Sandra Richardson, Susan Raffo, and moderator D.A. Bullock in this discussion for The Alliance TC’s “Actualizing Equity” series. They discussed the ICE attacks on the Twin Cities during “Operation Metro Surge”, and the transformative resistance that occurred in the face of extreme state violence and trauma.
They sought to answer, “For those of us involved in resistance efforts, from seasoned organizers to people taking action for the first time, what has this moment taught us? How do we build from here? What lessons can we learn from past movements in this geography and from elsewhere in the world that can help us navigate this moment?”
The video is 1 hour, 22 minutes of fruitful insights and stories from these experienced movement organizers.
