Most immigrants come to this country to escape violence and persecution and to work
to support their families. While Trump is virulent in his threats against them, politicians
of both capitalist parties spew the rhetoric and advocate various policies including
detention and deportation to ban immigrants, even while they and their allies benefit
from their labor.
Join our speakers who will present a picture of what may be coming from the Trump
administration and how we can resist.
