SUMMARY:Solidarity in Action: Strategies for Power-Building in Anti-Immigrant Environments
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is hosted by Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees and co-sponsored by Economic Opportunity Funders\, Northern California Grantmakers\, Philanthropy New York\, and Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders. \n\n\n\nThe federal administration’s consolidation of power and scapegoating of migrant populations and other historically marginalized communities have presented staggering challenges for immigrant-serving organizations. There are many lessons we can learn from community-based groups that operate in this type of hostile environment. They have also built power in geographies with other low-paid workers or workers of color and have formed coalitions across social justice movements for the liberation of all. \n\n\n\nJoin GCIR to learn how multi-issue groups working to build an inclusive multiracial democracy are deploying strategies that address the needs of migrant communities in an increasingly hostile environment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSofía Verónica Montez\, Legal Fellow\, Project South\n\n\n\nBorn and raised in Caracas\, Venezuela\, Sofía (they / them) is a 2023 graduate at UNC School of Law aiming to grow as a movement lawyer for grassroots efforts countering the inhumane violence and displacement inflicted by Western imperialism.
