‘Freedom With’: What the LA ICE Protests Are Teaching Us About Freedom

As ICE raids spark protest across Los Angeles and the rest of the United States, Justin Scott Campbell and Barrett Holmes Pitner sit down for a conversation to explore how competing ideas of freedom shape public policy and everyday life. Barrett introduces “freedom with” as an alternative to the dominant, exclusion-based model of “freedom from,” and discuss what this shift in perspective could mean in a moment of escalating division and enforcement, and how this reframing of freedom, could help shape our response to the current moment.
