Thank you to everyone who joined our live video talk last night with Alix Dick about her new memoir “The cost of being undocumented: one woman’s reckoning with America’s inhumane math.” Alix talked about what it’s like for people living without legal status in the United States as masked federal agents kidnap people off the streets in California.

To learn more about Alix’s new memoir, listen to our May podcast with Alix and her co-author Antero Garcia. Also check out their excellent Substack “La Cuenta.”
