On our first episode, we talk with immigrant-rights activist Ravi Ragbir and his partner Amy Gottlieb, about not only their current organizing to stop Ravi’s deportation, but how they stay centered and support each other. Ravi is the Executive Director of the New Sanctuary Coalition, and Amy is an Associate Regional Director for the American Friends Service Committee. Ravi has been fighting his own deportation order since 2006, and was recently detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement following a regularly scheduled check-in. To find out more about what you can do to support Ravi and immigrant rights generally, please visit http://istandwithravi.org and http://newsanctuarynyc.org.

On Thursday, October 25, 2018, the New Sanctuary Coalition and NYU Immigrant Rights Clinic held a teach-in about the First Amendment rights of immigrants who speak out against the injustices and inhumanity of our immigration system. Hosted at a Brooklyn church founded as a “temple of abolition” against slavery, the teach-in was held in anticipation of an upcoming First Amendment case, Ragbir v. Homan, that was heard in the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Monday, October 29. The plaintiffs of Ragbir v. Homan seek, among other things, a court order restraining the government from deporting and otherwise targeting immigrant activists based on their protected political speech. Thursday’s teach-in unpacked immigrants’ constitutional right to free speech, even as the government lashes out against immigrant rights leaders and activists. Ragbir v. Homan was filed by nationally recognized immigrant rights activist Ravi Ragbir, along with immigrant rights organizations New Sanctuary Coalition, CASA, Detention Watch Network, National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild, and the New York Immigration Coalition (the “plaintiffs”).
