Abolitionist Organizing on the US-Mexico Border, Thursday, March 19 

Nina Ebner, an advocate with the Detained Migrant Solidarity Committee (DMSC)/Fronterizx Fianza Fund, will unpack recent developments in Juarez/El Paso during an hour-long workshop. In it, she will discuss her work with DMSC, an abolitionist collective of femmes and queer individuals, fighting for more equitable immigration policy, the demilitarization of border communities and an end to migrant detention. The talk will be followed with time for Q&A addressing how space—and place—is fought for.

The workshop, as part of the “Spanish Narratives of Migration” Seminar. will take place on Thursday, March 19, 2020, from 3:15-4:15, in the From Slavery to Freedom Lab, Bay 4, Franklin Humanities Institute, Smith Warehouse.
