URGENT CALL TO ACTION: VOTE FOR JUSTICE, EQUITY, AND IMMIGRATION REFORM
This convening focused on the importance of civic engagement and the 2020 vote for immigrants and refugees, DACA recipients, and undocumented individuals. Three speakers discussed the experience of immigrant college students and DACA recipients, traditionally marginalized low-income immigrant communities of color and refugee communities. They also examined the importance of voting in the time of several national crises including Covid-19 and social unrest. Initiatives and institutional efforts to reduce barriers and voter suppression and increase voting and civic participation were also be discussed.
