The panelists will share insights on their pro se legal clinics, including strategies to center immigrants in their fight to remain, tactics to mobilize and sustain volunteers, and ways to provide relevant and timely information to immigrants navigating the system. They will also reflect on the challenges and opportunities created in the wake of the COVID19 pandemic.

The panelists are
