Opening Keynote

We’ll kick off the opening keynote for our 10th annual conference with stories of courage from some of the leading activists in Arizona. We’ll uncover some of the most unjust practices in our immigration system and elevate the voices of local activists fighting for their families and communities. Many of the issues they face—racial profiling, police brutality and more—have deep roots in communities of color across our country. You’ll hear from top organizers in those communities as well, in addition to Rep. Donna Edwards and many more.
