Upcoming Events
Protecting Immigrant Rights Is Protecting All of Our Rights​​
​
Dispatches from the Front Lines: Immigrant Experiences of Enforcement and Detention, a workshop sponsored by the Golden Immigrant Protection Team, a task force of Up2UsGolden.
​
Protecting immigrant rights is protecting all of our rights. Immigration enforcement doesn’t just affect families and communities on the margins — it impacts our democracy, our shared values, and the future we want to build together.
​
In this workshop, we will:
-
Hear real stories from the frontlines of enforcement and detention.
-
Challenge the myths that divide us — including the “good immigrant” trap.
-
Discover practical, urgent ways to take action: from court watch and accompaniment to advocacy, fundraising, and supporting local immigrant justice networks.
​
If you are a Colorado School of Mines alum who is interested in advocating for students with the school administration, related to immigration and other issues, please let us know.
​
Registration is not required for this free event.​
