Unity In the Community : Linking Anti-Black and Anti-Immigrant Racism

This workshop seeks to challenge both anti-Black and anti-immigrant sentiments, uniting Black and brown communities in the fight for immigrant justice and abolition. Activities link the global backlash against immigrants to slavery and colonization—demonstrating how the deportation machines in places like Israel, Mexico, and the U.S. share a lineage with the same systems that once captured and forced Africans into servitude. Participants will understand how histories of Black repression are at the heart of all anti-immigrant policy, and the need for our communities to fight for Black liberation and immigrant justice as inseparable battles.

Facilitated by Benji Hart.
