Immigrant Organizing: Finding a Political Voice

---

As part of our acclaimed Tenement Talk series, join us for a free panel discussion exploring the issues, challenges and future of immigrant activism.

When you’re undocumented, expressing your voice isn’t as simple as voting. 

And speaking up for your rights, and the rights of other immigrants, can have both legal and emotional consequences. A new generation of immigrants has grown into vocal political activists on issues ranging from anti-deportation and DACA to health care, and they are finding ways to be effective and make their voices heard. Join our panel of activists and scholars to discuss the issues, challenges, and future of immigrant activism.
