Shoutout to Samantha Ong for this dope flyer design! ---------------------------------------------- HEY IMMIGRANT YOUTH OF COLOR/FAMILIES/EDUCATORS - IYECon 2016 is a month away! The annual Immigrant Youth Empowerment Conference (IYECon) is an all day conference which aims to provide resources and tools to all youths and their families, regardless of their immigration status to be empowered and organize within their communities. Our theme, “Remember Our Roots, Fight for Liberation”, connects us not only to our migration history and the policies that forced many of us to migrate, but to a path where we can build towards joint liberation. It is a history of resistance within our countries, families, communities, schools, states, against policies that displaced people and changed the future of the immigration system. To be Rooted in Liberation means to resist and grow through our lived experiences and our shared past. We come from a legacy of fighters and movement builders, and we will continue to fight for our collective liberation. We invite you to share this event to anyone whom you think will benefit from this conference. We will be sharing resources, building community, and engaging in conversations on the role that higher education plays in overall community advancement and organizing. We hope to see you there! Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Child care and interpretation as well. ---------------------------------------------- Register here: bit.ly/IYECon2016 Volunteer with us here: bit.ly/iyecon2016volunteer Website: iyeconnyc.wix.com/iyecon Donate and help us out here: bit.ly/IYECon-2016 Contact us at: [email protected] #IYECon2016
