will be speaking on September 24the from 7-9 PM at Oakhurst Presbyterian Church about the connections between state violence at home and U.S. violence abroad, and what we can do to protect our communities. Sofía will discuss how the current violence and repression carried out by ICE connects to the genocide in Gaza and the war against Iran, examining how systems of militarization, surveillance, detention, displacement, and state repression cross borders and affect our communities. The conversation will explore how we can build solidarity and keep one another safe across differences of nationality, immigration status, and background. THE ESCALATION Learn how the United States has intensified violence, repression, and militarization against people at home and abroad, and how these struggles are connected. THE CALL TO ACTION Gain practical strategies and resources for protecting your neighbors, responding to state repression, and strengthening community safety. BUILD COMMUNITY Meet others committed to solidarity, collective safety, and building stronger communities across borders. Join us for an evening of political education, conversation, and collective action as we examine the connections between struggles at home and abroad, and consider what solidarity demands of us now.
