Organized by: We're Better Together TMU — https://www.eventbrite.com/o/121835960259We're Better Together TMU is hosting a panel on exclusionary policies and how it wrongly criminalizes migrants and refugees.
What policies are in place that impede migrant & refugee rights? Is the government doing enough to support migrants & refugees?
Join us as we discuss these questions with our panelists Veronica Zaragoza from the Workers Action Center & Edgar Valderrama Medina from the FCJ Refugee Center. This event presents a great opportunity for attendees to connect with other activists and scholars in the migration and refugee field.
