The Assembly is for workers to talk to one another about immigration, how it affects working families in all of our communities, and what we can do to stop exploitation on the job and in the streets.

“How are children in immigrant communities dealing with the ongoing terrorizing of their families by some municipal law enforcement and ICE. How can community allies help?”

“How can workers, immigrant communities and their supporters respond to ICE raids?”

“How can we overcome stereotypes and myths about each others’ communities to create a stronger power base and solidarity?”
