Pooja Gehi presents “Pushing the Borders: Unshackling Our Communities,” a panel at Creating Change

We will discuss our graphic novel community education project that we are developing as a tool to end mass deportation. We will explain how ICE increasingly uses the criminal legal system to target immigrants, specifically LGBTQ GNC individuals, provide a political history of exclusion and of resistance movements for immigrant rights in the U.S., and offer ways to stop mass deportation. We will discuss the impact of comprehensive immigration reform for LGBTQ GNC people.

Presenters:

Lynly Egyes (Sex Workers Project), Mizue Aizeki (Immigrant Defense Project), and Pooja Gehi (Sylvia Rivera Law Project)
