Join us for a livestream event co-hosted by Othering & Belonging Institute!

As migrants, refugees and asylum seekers from Mexico, Central and South America, Africa and the Caribbean seek entry in the US at the border with Mexico, the discourse on global migration has gotten shrill and disingenuous. The human rights of migrants are being violated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, Border Patrol agents, police officers and vigilante groups everyday. The root causes of migration and US complicity in forcing people to leave their home countries are obscured. A panel of activists and academics will shed light on the crisis in US policy that has led to the displacement and demonization of migrants. The livestream is co-hosted by National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (NNIRR) and the Othering & Belonging Institute.

PROGRAMA

Mientras migrantes, refugiados y solicitantes de asilo de México, Centroamérica, Sudamérica, África y el Caribe buscan ingresar a Estados Unidos por la frontera con México, el discurso sobre la migración global se ha vuelto estridente y falso. Los derechos humanos de las personas migrantes están siendo violados todos los días por agentes del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés), de la Patrulla Fronteriza, oficiales de policía y grupos de vigilantes clandestinos. Las causas fundamentales de la migración así como la complicidad de Estados Unidos para obligar a las personas a abandonar sus países de origen se mantienen en la oscuridad. Un panel de activistas y académicos arrojará luz sobre la crisis en las políticas estadounidenses que han llevado al desplazamiento y demonización de los migrantes. Esta transmisión en vivo es una coproducción de la National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (NNIRR) y el Othering & Belonging Institute (OBI).
