Join us for a conversation about how we visualize the system disappearing immigrants from the streets of Los Angeles and beyond. This in-person, public event will discuss the current siege on migrant communities as the most-recent attack in a long history of racist immigration enforcement. The event will also introduce Mapping Deportations—a new website and organizing tool—that unmasks the past and present of structural racism in the U.S. immigration regime.

Hosted by filmmaker Alex Rivera, the evening will feature a conversation with one of the nation’s leading litigators, Ahilan Arulanantham, the award-winning historian Kelly Lytle Hernández; rebel cartographer Mariah Tso (Diné), and visionary advocates Pablo Alvarado and Sirine Shebaya. The panelists will use film, data, and dialogue to engage the audience in this urgent conversation.

This event is sponsored by Borderlands Cinematic Arts, the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at the UCLA School of Law, Million Dollar Hoods, and the National Immigration Project.

Dinner will be provided.
