Resources by I-ARC Members on Immigration & Black Lives Matter

Our goal to promote access to justice for immigrant communities can only move forward in a country where all are able to pursue their individual rights, including rights to protest and seek fairness and accountability, and where our societal and judicial institutions recognize the inherent truth that Black lives matter. I-ARC and its members will continue to fight to undo systemic and institutional barriers that hold immigrants and communities of color back from reaching their full potential. We stand in solidarity with all those who exercise their First Amendment rights to express outrage over recent events and deep historic injustice.

Watch our launch event panel discussion: “The Role of the Legal Advocate at the Intersection of Immigrant Rights and Racial Justice”. More resources available on our event page and below.
