This conversation is from a webinar that we hosted on using Participatory Defense to fight deportation. It is an amazing and important conversation led by people who have been directly impacted by the intersection of the criminal and immigration systems. With the current administration we need to make sure we are prepared and ready to fight for our immigrant families, & as you will see, the speakers in this webinar are proof that you can build power and protect each other through community and participatory defense. The panelists include Eladio & Nora from Silicon Valley De-Bug & Raymond from Knoxville Tennessee. Each of them have a direct and awful experience dealing with the legal complexities of not only the criminal justice system - but the immigration consequences that occurred as a result. De-Bug thanks them for sharing their stories and their continued advocacy to this day - and big shout out to Sarait & Ana, De-Bug PD organizers who do amazing work across California and hosted this event as well as Anna T who helped coordinate this conversation.
