SUMMARY:Marijuana Policing and the Impact on Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:Across the United States and in New York\, the tide is turning against marijuana prohibition\, but resolutions to deal with collateral consequences for noncitizen immigrants remain stalled. As marijuana reform has progressed\, reforms to the immigration system have not. \nSimple marijuana possession was the fourth most common offense among people who were deported nationally\, and the most common offense among people deported with drug law violations. Just this year\, multiple New Yorkers have been deported over a years-old marijuana misdemeanor\, and plainclothes ICE officers are showing up in courtrooms and arresting immigrants. \nMayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo have pledged to take action to protect immigrants from actions by the federal government and provide legal defense—but allowing law enforcement to continue to arrest people for low-level possession unnecessarily puts families and communities in danger in the first place. \nJoin us for a community conversation about how we can use marijuana reform as a platform to increase safety and security for noncitizen immigrants. \nSpeakers include: \n\nAnthony Posada\, Legal Aid Society\nMarie Mark\, Immigrant Defense Project\nBen Ndugga-Kabuye\, Black Alliance for Just Immigration\nKumar Rao\, Center for Popular Democracy\nVerónica Bayetti Flores\, Mijente\nChris Alexander\, Drug Policy Alliance\n\nOpening remarks by Nelson Guerrero\, Cannabis Cultural Association \n  \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \n  \nDATE AND TIME\n\nWed\, November 15\, 2017 \n6:30 PM – 8:00 PM EST \nAdd to Calendar \n\nLOCATION\n\nColumbia Law School–Room JG 103 \n435 West 116th Street \nNew York\, NY 10027 \nView Map
