SUMMARY:Resistance in the Era of Hyper-Immigration Enforcement
DESCRIPTION:This panel and report launch will demonstrate how organizing can be a powerful and effective tool to combat aggressive immigration policing and detention—even in today’s challenging political climate. By highlighting a successful campaign in CUNY Law’s Immigrant and Non-Citizen Rights Clinic and the Abolish ICE Coalition NY-NJ’s new report\, Shut it Down!: The 2021 Grassroots Movement to Abolish ICE Detention in New Jersey\, we will discuss what is possible through sustained\, collective action. \nThe event will highlight lessons learned and best practices that can be applied in both current and future contexts. We will examine ongoing political and legal developments since 2021\, and how they shape and have changed the terrain of immigration enforcement—particularly as communities continue to resist escalating detention and arrests. \nWe hope to inspire attendees with actionable strategies—both defensive and offensive—for confronting spaces of control and power. We’ll use the 2021 New Jersey example as a case study of how organizers successfully “flipped the script” in and outside of the immigration jails. The event will serve as both a reflection on past victories and a conversation about the current realities and challenges we face. \n  \nRSVP REQUIRED \n  \n

SUMMARY:An evening with prison journalist John Lennon\, author of "The Tragedy of True Crime: Four Guilty Men and the Stories that Define Us"
DESCRIPTION:Book Talk: Prison journalist John J. Lennon calls in from Sing Sing to discuss his new book\, “The Tragedy of True Crime: Four Guilty Men and the Stories That Define Us\,” with Professor Steve Zeidman. \nNew York prison journalist John J. Lennon’s book\, “The Tragedy of True Crime\,” is a first-person journalistic account that tells the stories of four men who have killed—three of whom are currently represented by CUNY Defenders Clinic’s Second Look Project. With vivid\, intimate accounts of life on the inside that cut through the sensationalism and reveal the humanity beyond the headlines\, Lennon makes a forceful case for second looks. The first book of its kind\, The Tragedy of True Crime poses fundamental questions about the stories we tell about crime and punishment—and who gets to tell them. What essential truth is lost when we don’t consider all that comes before an act of unthinkable violence? And what happens after the cell gate locks? \nRSVP REQUIRED
