Organizing Against Repression: Defending Democratic and Immigrant Rights Through Mass Resistance

Blanca Missé, Michael Hale

This panel will discuss how to confront the Trump administration's attack on civil liberties and immigrant rights. From the defense campaigns for Tom Alter, Prairieland, to the resistance emerging in LA and Minneapolis against immigration raids, we'll explore what it takes to fight back against the multifaceted oppression our class faces. Defending our communities means uniting immigrant organizing against detention camps and deportations with the collective power of organized labor and broad united front campaigns. This panel is sponsored by the The United Left Platform (ULP): International Marxist Humanist Organization, Socialist Horizon, Solidarity, Speak Out Socialists, Tempest Collective, and Workers Voice.
