SUMMARY:Being an Immigrant and Disabled in the U.S.: Defending Civil Rights Under Escalating Federal Enforcement 
DESCRIPTION:Over the past year we have witnessed federal enforcement harms impact our disability community in deeply detrimental ways. During heightened enforcement\, harms are not evenly experienced. People with disabilities may face increased risk when access needs\, medications\, assistive devices\, communication accommodations\, housing\, and continuity of care are disrupted.We have seen reports of civil rights violations\, including rights guaranteed to people with disabilities\, during encounters\, processing\, or detention by federal immigration enforcement. Yet too often\, disability and immigration advocacy operate in separate lanes\, leaving disabled immigrants\, disabled family members\, and those who care for them to navigate these harms without coordinated support. \n\n\n\nPlease join Access Living\, Disability Rights California\, and The Arc Minnesota for a community webinar:Being an Immigrant and Disabled in the U.S.: Defending Civil Rights Under Escalating Federal EnforcementWednesday\, March 11 | 11:00–12:30 (PT) | 1:00–2:30 (CT) | 2:00–3:30 (ET)A 60-minute moderated panel discussion followed by a 30-minute audience Q&A.Accessibility: CART\, ASL\, and Spanish interpretation will be provided.Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hG2kuGtqSDu7gdOqy5qgPA \n\n\n\nPanelists include: \n\n\n\nMia Ives-Rublee\, MSW — Senior Director\, Disability Justice Initiative\, Center for American ProgressMichelle Garcia — Manager of Organizing and Community Development\, Access Living of Metropolitan Chicago/ Co-founder\, Disability Immigration Taskforce of ILRichard Diaz — Senior Attorney\, Investigation Unit\, Disability Rights CaliforniaMai Thor — Chief Program Officer\, The Arc MinnesotaPaula Sandoval — Supervising Investigator\, Disability Rights California \n\n\n\nModerated by: Claudia Castillo Ayala\, PhD student in Disability Studies\, University of Illinois Chicago \n\n\n\nThis conversation will bring together disability and immigration justice leaders to examine: \n\n\n\n\nHow immigration enforcement affects disabled immigrants and mixed-status families in real-world settings\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat disability-related accommodations and protections should be expected and demanded\n\n\n\n\n\nHow advocates and service providers can challenge policies that overlook disabled people\n\n\n\n\n\nPractical\, community-centered steps to support safety and dignity before\, during\, and after enforcement encounters\n\n\n\n\nWe will also explore what Centers for Independent Living\, disability-serving entities\, and immigration advocacy organizations can do to strengthen support for immigrant communities with disabilities. Attendees will be invited to share additional questions\, topic needs\, and recommendations for future panelists\, so we can continue building disability-inclusive immigrant justice spaces. We hope you will join us.
