Amidst widespread anti-immigrant policies and rhetoric, communities engage in response and resistance initiatives to ensure communities understand their rights in the context of detention, deportation, and family separation. This session will provide context around policies that criminalize immigrant and BIPOC communities and discuss opportunities for response and advocacy.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Upon completion, participants will understand racialized state-level and national policy landscapes that criminalize immigrant and BIPOC communities.
  2. Upon completion, participants will be able to identify considerations and ethical responsibilities to inform students, practitioners, and communities about their rights related to anti-immigrant policies and practices.
  3. Through interactive discussions with the large group, as well as structured small group exercises, participants will be able to identify opportunities to engage in “know your rights” initiatives in their institutions and communities.
