Co-hosted in partnership with LUCHA Arizona
Trump’s mass deportation agenda has oversaturated the news. His administration is pushing the moral and legal bounds of our country to expedite deportations, disregarding people’s rights and humanity in the process. At the same time, the Arizona state legislature is advancing several bills that would force our state to do the anti-immigrant bidding of the federal government, use state resources to fuel the mass deportation machine, incentivize police to prioritize immigration enforcement over public safety, and more.
For many of us who know, love, and live alongside undocumented people, it can be difficult to shift from fear and overwhelm towards resistance and action. But there are still checks and balances we can activate to protect our communities at the state and local level. Join the ACLU of Arizona, LUCHA, Representative Brian Garcia, Senator Catherine Miranda, and journalist John Washington to learn about the real impact that national and state-level attacks have on Arizona, and how you can stay informed and get involved.
Moderated by ACLU of Arizona Executive Director Victoria López, panelists will share personal stories, policy analysis, and movement efforts to fight for immigrants’ rights. This panel discussion will include live interpretation in Spanish and be followed with a Q&A session. At the end of the event, attendees can join us to take direct action to stop the bills that are advancing at the state legislature.
