In spring 2006 millions of protestors took to the streets in cities and towns across the United States to demand immigrant rights. This thematic panel will examine the movement today, assessing the trajectories of different streams of the movement, including youth activism and the alliance with organized labor. It will also take up the vexed question of how the movement has shaped the behavior of policymakers over the past decade.
