Join DWN for the next webinar of our MELT ICE Series: Disability Justice is Immigrant Justice! on Thursday, June 11th from 12pm-1:30pm PT/ 2pm-3:30pm CT/ 3pm-4:30pm ET. *ASL interpretation and Spanish interpretation will be provided.* 

Lately, there has been a rise in discussions and policies that promote eugenics and target disabled people across the country. However, the experiences and history of disabled immigrants are often overlooked when talking about immigrant rights, even though the U.S. immigration system has a history of discrimination against people with disabilities.

This webinar, hosted by New Disabled South and Detention Watch Network, will explore how disability and immigration are connected and discuss ways to include disability justice in efforts to end detention. You’ll hear from Rodney Taylor, a double amputee migrant, who was recently released after spending 15 months in Stewart Detention Center thanks to community organizing efforts.

Trump continues to push an aggressive expansion of ICE and immigrant detention. Yet, across the country, people are organizing to stop detention expansion and to protect themselves, their immigrant family members, neighbors, and friends who are at risk.
