Ecologies of Migrant Care: Protecting Migrants, Defending Rights
To celebrate the launch of the Ecologies of Migrant Care website, the Hemispheric Institute invites you to a roundtable discussion with leading figures in the movement for migrant justice. Panelists will discuss the immediate challenges facing migrants and immigration activists in this political moment, as well as long-term strategies for building coalitions and strengthening the movement. Please join us as we hear from activists and scholars working to defend and demand the rights of migrants, and to learn more about the resources available on the EMC platform.
About Ecologies of Migrant Care:
Ecologies of Migrant Care (EMC) is an initiative of the Hemispheric Institute that aims to research, document, and make visible the ongoing humanitarian emergency of refugee migrants from Central America as they cross Mexico towards the United States, and the diverse and widespread responses to this situation by individuals, communities of faith, non-governmental organizations, and social movements across the region. The EMC website houses nearly 100 interviews with migrants, activists, faith leaders, journalists, academics, and artists working to defend and demand the rights of refugee migrants across the region, in addition to photo galleries, artistic interventions, news updates, and additional resources. This work is supported by the Henry Luce Foundation. For more, please visit https://migration.hemi.press.
Live video broadcast will be available starting at 6 pm (EST) here.
