Our communities are under attack from Trump administration policies ushering in a new era of mass incarceration and an unprecedented increase in the criminalization, detention and deportation of our immigrant families and neighbors.

Join us for a conversation about the intersection of the criminal justice system and immigration and how we can stand together to protect our communities and our deeply held values of justice, inclusion and equity for all. Part of the #LeadingEdgeIdeas series, this event is co-hosted by the Rosenberg Foundation and Heising-Simons Foundation.

The conversation will be moderated by Marisa Lagos, Reporter on state politics for KQED’s California Politics and Government Desk, with a light reception to follow. Panelists include:

  • Assemblymember Rob Bonta (D-Oakland)
  • Raha Jorjani: Director, Immigration Representation Project, Alameda County Public Defender’s Office
  • Raj Jayadev: Founder and Director, Silicon Valley De-Bug
  • Abdi Soltani: Executive Director, ACLU Northern California
  • Yadira Sanchez: Northern California Organizer, California Immigrant Youth Justice Alliance

Limited seating, please RSVP.
