Welcome to the U.S. Student Association National Student Power Summit! This is the first gathering of its kind for the Education Justice movement in the United States. During this weekend, we will have the opportunity to share skills with students who have won concrete victories, build power with students running similar campaigns, and take bold action together. We ready, we coming! Are you?
The United States Student Association would like to thank the generosity of our sponsors; Communication Workers of America, National Nurses United, Apple, and CCC
In this workshop we will be challenging participants to think about the effects of the model minority narrative that has been overlooked for far too long. A narrative that has divided the immigrant community. Participants will: 1) Get an overview of what and who the Deportation Defense program is, 2) Learn what we are doing to fight back against the enforcement system that is criminalizing our undocumented immigrant community, . We will then define what the model minority is via words and visuals, and 4) breakout into critical discussions about its effects on how it further criminalizes other immigrant groups; and discuss potential solutions.
