On this episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, we speak with Lexis Figuereo of Saratoga Springs Black Lives Matter in New York. We talk about how the George Floyd movement exploded on the streets there, how an occupation outside of a local police station played out over a week, clashes with the Proud Boys and the role of far-Right media, and how police directly targeted local BLM leaders with repression and trumped up charges.
