KEPW’s Jana Thrift interviews ICE protesters

Protester: Blue states need to engage in self-secession, fortifying our states to protect our citizens against the federal government.

Presenter Jana Thrift reported live from the streets of Eugene after the ICE shooting of a legal observer. From downtown Eugene Jan. 8, Jana interviews neighbors who came out on short notice to protest…

Jana Thrift (KEPW):  I’m Jana, I help with our community radio station here in Eugene, KEPW, and we’re live on the air right now, trying to share with people about this important moment. Tell us what, why are you here? What makes this important to you? …

If anybody wants to figure out how to plug in, just email me, call KEPW (541) 833-0622. I’m stationmanager@kepw.org. I can send people towards resources. There’s a lot of different groups in town that are attempting to help people learn how to be good legal observers to learn how to help our immigrant neighbors. PIRC (Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition) is one of those groups.
