This panel of attorneys and community organizers will discuss the root causes of forced migration and the United States’ role in these causes. We also touch upon the dynamics of white supremacy, xenophobia, and militarization that manifest at the border and within the refugee immigrant experience in the USA.
Featured Panelists:
• Azadeh Shahshahani, Project South
• Pierre Labossiere, Haiti Action Committee
• Dévora González, SOA Watch
• Rhonda Ramiro, BAYAN-USA
Join the NLG-SFBA as we seek to confront this urgent issue by learning about historical and current root causes of the crises, current organizing efforts, and how we can all take action by bridging our struggles here and internationally!
