Listen "Ep.72: "Drinking from a fire hose" -- The ACLU's Shilpi Agarwal on Fighting for Civil Liberties in the Trump Era"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I interview the Legal Director of the Northern California American Civil Liberties Union: Shilpi Agarwal. Shilpi, formerly a senior staff attorney, has worked as the Legal Director for 5 years, managing litigation and advocacy. We had a wide-ranging conversation covering the case surrounding the deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles, the Trump administration's handling of immigration enforcement, and what she recommends listeners do in order to protect civil liberties. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Shilpi, and I am sure you will as well!
