Immigrant rights are under attack. How does the First Amendment protect immigrants who speak out against the injustice of the deportation system? How do we ensure that we protect the rights of all of our community members when we make our voices heard? Join us at Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, a church founded as a temple of abolition in the 1850s, to learn about these issues and an upcoming First Amendment case, Ragbir v. Homan, that will be heard in federal court later this month.

Speakers include:

Rev. Kaji Douša, Senior Pastor at The Park Avenue Christian Church

Ravi Ragbir, Executive Director of New Sanctuary Coalition

Ramya Krishnan, Staff Attorney at The Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University

The teach-in will be followed by a Know Your Rights training for activists and a public art project. Food will also be provided, so please RSVP at the link below!

This event is sponsored by the New Sanctuary Coalition and NYU Immigrant Rights Clinic. Co-sponsors include NYU Sanctuary Coalition, Law@theMargins, and Jaime Lucero Mexican Studies Institute at The City University of New York Lehman College.
