Today, Hunter is joined by Sophia Gurulé (immigration Public Defender at the Bronx Defender) and Pooja Patel (staff attorney at CAMBA Legal Services) to continue our discussion on ALAA's resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. In particular, today's episode offers us even more insight into how the resolution came about, the steps taken by those who opposed it to shut it down, and why ALAA members felt it was so vital to pass the resolution.
Guests:
Sophia Gurulé, Staff Attorney and ALAA Member, Bronx Defenders
Pooja Patel, Staff Attorney and ALAA Member, CAMBA legal services
