Birthright citizenship is under attack. The 14th Amendment — born out of the fight to recognize Black Americans as full citizens — is being weaponized to strip citizenship from children of immigrants and redefine who this country claims as its own. 

The United States’ 250th anniversary must be a moment of reckoning and taking stock of where we are as a country, what it means to build a multiracial democracy, and who truly has a path to citizenship and belonging. In the opening webinar of Advancement Project’s new campaign “Beyond 250: Another World is Possible,” we embrace the concept that we belong in America’s next 250 years.  

We’ll be joined by Cassandra Charles, National Immigration Law Center; Nana Gyamfi, Black Alliance for Just Immigration; and Aarti Kohli, Asian Law Caucus, as we examine the history of citizenship and exclusion in America, the legal and political battles happening right now, and what a democracy that truly belongs to all of us could look like.
