    Join Prison Library Support Network and METRO for an event brings together activists working on the frontiers of immigrant justice, community defense, cultural fortification, and political solidarity, all of which have grown increasingly urgent in light of the escalating criminalization of immigrants and people of color, dismantlement of the social safety net and civil rights enforcement, and heightening of economic injustice.

    These threats have already funneled or are poised to funnel more money and resources into the carceral state's varied institutions and agents. How can we mobilize and resist? How can we resource and show up in solidarity while holding space for our differing proximities to privilege and power? How can we work across sectors and siloes to build movements that represent our shared humanity? How can we be in, with, and for communities, living and lifting the radical possibilities of liberated futures?

    This event's speakers, from Mijente and Organized Communities Against Deportations, will share their organizing and advocacy strategies to inspire visions and vehicles for us all to move this critical and intersectional work.
