128 - Thematic Session. Transnational Immigrant Movements
Sat, August 20, 4:30 to 6:10pm, TBASession Submission Type: Invited Session
Description
Globalized capitalism has generated the massive movements of peoples across border and challenged both their countries of origin and host countries to respect their human rights and to accept their organizing efforts in finding solutions to improve their conditions. Organizing across borders is gaining strength among workers, youths and families. These movements are explored through DACA organizing in the US and the international organizing of domestic workers.
