2nd panel on advocating for immigrant rights: "This is community organizing 101, how groups can shift the landscape here and across the world – we need to look at ... other countries’ experiences in fighting back." @ElleFersan @USC_ILJ Sanctuary Cities #immigrationpolicy #ILJ2019

Changing the law isn't enough. "If you adopt a policy and it's not properly implemented by law enforcement, it's just a policy." @Drlindalopez

While it is legal to physically prevent immigrants from reaching the place where they can claim asylum, "stopping them before the border breaks the spirit of the law." - Lulú Ortiz #ILJ2019

“In practice, sanctuary cities don’t do much to protect people with criminal convictions, nor is there much they can do in any case.” - Dr. Jean Reisz @jereisz

Left to right: @ElleFersan, @LaylaMRazavi, @Drlindalopez , @jereisz, and Lulu Ortiz of @FianzaFund

@PeterMancina on sanctuary cities (hey, that's the name of our symposium!) and complaints against San Francisco police offers violating city sanctuary policy - "As soon as this process doesn't work, it has a chilling effect on submitting any more complaints." #ILJ2019
