Labor Against ICE

Trump’s second term has been marked by a dramatic increase in immigration enforcement operations, including the deployment of federal and national guard troops to major cities across the United States. Ramped-up ICE raids have resulted in injuries, deaths, and the disappearance of migrants and non migrants alike. As legal challenges demanding the cessation of indiscriminate workplace and neighborhood raids have largely failed, how are workers and communities fighting back? This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Refreshments provided. Immigrant and labor rights organizations will also be tabling.

Please join UC Santa Cruz’s Center for Labor and Community for a panel discussion with co-founder of LA Educators for Racial Justice (LAE4RJ), Denisha Jordan (United Teachers Los Angeles), founder of OEA Rapid Response Team and dual-language teacher, Jessie Papallia (Oakland Education Association), Emergency Medicine Resident, Satkartar Khalsa (SEIU 1021 Committee of Interns and Residents), Alex Quintero (@allthingslabor), and regional labor and community organizer Cesar Lara (California Federation of Labor) to learn how labor is organizing to defend migrants on the job.
