April 16^th 12-2pm Community Reflection Time (multiple locations)

• Around campus, there will be opportunities to connect and debrief experiences and learnings from the Equity Symposium. More information to come via Inside Evergreen.

• This training will explore how our communities can build a movement to protect and secure the rights of our immigrant neighbors, students, and families in the face of abusive and illegal immigration enforcement. We will consider the powerful constitutional rights that we all share, and how we can build Community Power when those rights are violated. Our goal is to educate and empower with practical action steps to enhance the effectiveness of our legal rights, and to inspire participants to educate their own communities about these issues. Co-sponsored by the Undocumented Student Task Force.
