Event Location: 
WSU Old Main: 1111
Full Description: 

Join us to learn how you can organize your community to challenge the detention system and gain access to support immigrants separated from their families.

Participants will learn how local faith and community groups have organized to gain access into detention centers to accompany detained immigrants and their families. Through discussion and interactive participation people will share ideas on how to strengthen interfaith participation in the immigrant rights movement.

The workshop will provide a space to talk about how our current immigration system criminalizes immigrants and how we can organize against these injustices. Through education, advocacy and action people can work together to build communities that welcome and affirm human dignity and uphold the rights of all people.
