What
Monday, March 18th: Talking About Deportation and Community Responses to it

In light of the continued restriction and closing off of opportunities for some migrating folks to live in our communities with full on paper rights; as more people are denied access to citizenship or refugee statuses, many wanting to stay face deportation.
