From the Black church to Jewish communities to Muslim families, many of us carry ancestral trauma tied to being patrolled, surveilled, and told to \u201cshow me your papers.\u201d This series offers space to remember that history \u2014 and to do something good with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, we will learn, reflect, and develop practical advocacy skills. We&#8217;ll spend time building relationships \u2014 first with one another, and then with decision-makers \u2014 to offer a united moral voice against policies that criminalize and dehumanize our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an opportunity to not only deepen awareness, but to take action rooted in values. Join us to stand on the right side of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Session 1: July 24 &#8211; \u201cShow Me Your Papers!\u201d:\u00a0<\/strong>Historical roots of
