Through the ‘94 Crime Bill & ‘96 Immigration Bill, the government authorized about $10B in subsidies to expand state prisons, eliminated Pell Grants for people in prison seeking higher education, and even established a system to compensate states for incarcerating undocumented immigrants. This Tuesday, at 8 PM ET, join us for “Criminalizing Blackness,” a conversation with leaders across these two deeply connected movement spaces to break down the impacts of the 1994 Crime Bill & the 1996 Immigration Bill on Black people. The conversation will feature: * Timantha Goff, Policy and Advocacy Analyst at UndocuBlack Network * Rose Mayan, Lead Organizer at Michigan United * Sharon Njie, Communication and Strategic Partnership Director at LORI and Refugee Congress Delegate for Louisiana * Amara Enyia, Manager for Policy & Research at M4BL * Ronald Claude, Director of Policy & Advocacy at Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI) RSVP: M4bl.link/blackness (link in bio)
