What We Saw in Chicago - Lessons from the CBP Surge

Posted by Andy1917

Content:

Join us for a conversation with local organizers about how our community pushed back against attacks on our neighbors from federal border patrol agents last fall🚨

Although this particular surge force has since left Illinois, federal officials have made it clear that similar operations are likely to return. That makes it essential to take stock of what happened here, how our communities responded in real time, and what it means for the months ahead.

Speakers include Rey Wences from Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights @icirr_il, Antonio Gutierrez from Organized Communities Against Deportations @ocadchicago, and @senatorcelina, with a special poetry reading from @juliet2libre.
