This panel convenes immigration justice leaders to discuss their organizing work, the challenges and opportunities they face, and why their efforts are urgent at this moment. Panelists will also explorehow scholars can mobilize in non-extractive ways through research and teaching, and reflect on what sustains their committment, hope, and collective care.
