To provide context for what’s been going on around the border since the book was published, a volunteer from the solidarity group [No More Deaths](http://www.nomoredeaths.org) joins us to talk about changes and continuities between the Obama and Trump eras, the impact of the administration’s efforts to build a wall on communities around the border, updates on [state repression against the group’s volunteers](http://forms.nomoredeaths.org/legal-defense-campaign/), and the wave of resistance and solidarity building towards a world of free movement. Want to learn more? We’ll be releasing the first installment of *No Wall They Can Build* later this week—stay tuned!
