The south remains a bastion of white supremacist, capitalist and patriarchal domination.  Its legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, conservative organizing, and deep investment in the Mass Incarceration system has been extended by the recent wave of anti-immigrant policy-making.

On the front lines of this onslaught are Black and Brown communities - Immigrant and US born.  These families and communities are being torn apart by Mass Incarceration, Immigrant Detention, and Deportation. 

Join this workshop to find out how these communities – including families themselves – are fighting back, while simultaneously developing strategies to help advance our cause even farther.
