With promises to deport millions of Latinos, we face consequences that will impact not just our communities, but the entire fabric of the U.S. and beyond.  This impending social and economic storm will generate forceful opposition, though its shape is not yet determined. In this context, this panel discussion will emphasize three major questions:  How extensive could these deportations be?  What are the potential economic impacts? How can vulnerable communities protect themselves, and how can allies best support them?  Join us for a challenging, but necessary conversation in a safe, collaborative space that will include academics, community, and activist leaders.  To register: https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/clas/content/clas-event-registration Sponsors: Center or Latin American Studies (CLAS); Center for Ethnic Studies Research (CESR); Global Studies Center (GSC) The Center for Ethnic Studies Research (CESR) advances innovative, multidisciplinary, and collaborative research addressing core communities central to Ethnic Studies—Chicana/o Latinx, Asian American, Native American, African American/U.S. African diasporas—from local, regional, comparative, and transnational perspectives.  Copyright © 2024 Center for Ethnic Studies Research, All rights reserved.
