Inquiry into Immigration in an Era of Mass Incarceration

Please join us at Bluestockings Bookstore on Wednesday, MARCH 17th at 7PM for a presentation and discussion of migrant struggles in U.S. by Jenna Loyd, a researcher at CUNY, who will share what she learned in the two months traveling this fall in the US South and Southwest. Joining her will be Seth Wessler, a researcher at Applied Research Center, who traveled to Jamaica to look at the often forgotten effects of mass deportation; as well as Manisha Vaze, with Families for Freedom, who brings the focus back home to talk about how people in New York are living with and responding to immigrant policing, detention, and deportation.

Rooted in an inquiry into the past 30 years of criminalizing communities of color and how that has shaped the lives of migrant communities of color in the United States, tonight’s discussion will also attempt to expound the uses of militant research in better understanding and circulating these struggles.
