ICE raids and militarised borders: Migration and capitalism
Sunday 3:15 PM
Borders are not natural; they are enforced with guns, prisons and walls. This year we’ve seen Trump unleash ICE to target refugees, university students and anyone who dares challenge his regime. In Australia, the Labor government continues to lock immigrants up on Nauru Island and turn back boats.
This session will look at how imperialism, racism and capitalism fuel the war on migrants and why solidarity across borders is essential to our fight.
