Immigration, Racial Justice & Public Policy:
Assessing Biden’s First 100 Days

In this webinar, PRICE tackles some of the biggest and most pressing issues in U.S. politics. As we've moved into a new presidential administration, what has President Biden done (or failed to do) to advance racial justice? How has the administration addressed the dysfunctional and destructive U.S. immigration system? What does the first 100 days of the Biden Administration tell us about what is to come and about the trajectory of U.S. democracy? The panel includes Deepak Bhargava, Niambi Carter, and Cecilia Muñoz, with Sergio Garcia-Rios moderating.

Cancel Rent!: Housing Justice in a Post-Covid United States

Housing insecurity is life-altering no matter the macroeconomic or public health context. Recessions exacerbate this. How can we change policies to fight housing insecurity during times of economic security as well as times of economic turmoil? How can we structure policies not just to provide housing, but also to create healthy and just communities? Panelists Akira Drake Rodriguez and Marcela Mitaynes discussed this and more with moderators Jamila Michener and Giancarlo Valdetaro.

Women of Color and the Future of U.S. Democracy

In January 2021, 51 women of color were sworn in as members of the U.S. Congress-- more than ever before. Even beyond Congress, women of color have been gaining ground in leadership on the state and local levels, within national, state and grassroots political organizations, and as visible political leaders within and beyond electoral politics. This webinar centered on how Women of Color are fundamentally shaping U.S. democracy.

Getting Free: Race & Abolition

Massive and unprecedented political uprisings in the wake of the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd have led to more critical engagement with the idea, possibility, and promise of police abolition. In this webinar, PRICE Initiative brought together a panel of leading scholars and activists to engage in depth about race, freedom, and abolition.
