picking up groceries, but want to help, can make financial contributions to
ACTC directly online: http://www.actconline.info/. Look at https://www.facebook.com/events/226765075311832/?event_time_id=226765078645165.

– On Mon., April 20 from 7 to 8 PM, Politics
and Prose Live is hosting Alina Das with Dara Lind. Look at www.crowdcast.io. An award-winning immigrant rights activist,
lawyer, and professor at New York University School of Law, where she also
co-directs the NYU Immigrant Rights Clinic, Das in her important new book shows
that Trump’s anti-immigration stand is only the latest—if most
extreme—iteration of a long history of the idea of the “criminal alien.”
Combining detailed analysis of the system—which more closely resembles a
“deportation machine”—with stories of some of the 300,000 caught up in it annually,
Das shows how immigrants are divided into categories like “deserving” or
“undeserving,” with the bulk of the latter targeted for minor offenses. Only by
confronting this cruelty, she argues, can we build an inclusive immigration policy
based on human dignity. Das will be in conversation with Dara Lind, a reporter
on immigration for ProPublica and former senior correspondent at Vox. She is
the co-host of Vox's podcast The Weeds. Register
at https://www.crowdcast.io/e/alina-das-justice/register,
