About this listen
In Part Two of this special two-part episode of Beyond the Bell, host Manuela Arciniegas reconnects with Marika Pfefferkorn for a powerful, real-time update from the Twin Cities amid what organizers are calling the Minnesota Rebellion.
Recorded on February 2, 2026, months after their first conversation, Marika shares firsthand stories from the ground as communities confront escalating ICE activity, surveillance, and family separations. She describes how neighbors are organizing block by block, young people are leading walkouts and mutual aid efforts, and rapid response networks are emerging to protect one another through distributed leadership, digital vigilance, and deep community care.
Marika also lifts up the leadership of the Twin Cities Innovation Alliance, the rise of “Aunties in Vests,” and plans for a National Summit on Digital Liberation and Movement—creating space for young people across the country to strategize, heal, and build power together.
