The Road to Abolition: Intersectional Approaches to Immigrant Justice – Apr 8

Posted by Villanova University on March 29, 2022

For its second annual symposium, the Clinic for Asylum, Refugee and Emigrant Services (CARES) will explore abolition as the path to immigrant justice. As immigration detention and deportation continue to perpetuate global inequality, entrenched colonialism, and racial injustice, a movement to abolish ICE and shift government resources to housing, health care, and education continues to grow. The symposium will focus on organizing efforts to end immigration enforcement and detention, the intersection of racial justice and abolitionist movements, and lessons learned in abolitionist work beyond the immigrant rights movement.

This program is approved by the Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education Board for 3.5 Substantive In-Person CLE credits. No distance learning CLE credits will be available. Please note registration prior to the event is required. Lunch provided.

Date and Time: Friday, April 8, 2022, 10:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

Location: John F. Scarpa Hall, Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law, 299 N. Spring Mill Road, Villanova, PA 19085
