Few would argue with the fact that the migrant youth movement in the U.S. is a case study in organizing against the odds. With a mainstream media hostile to its very existence, very little money and an online space that is more nativist than pro-migrant, migrant youth have been forced to think outside the box when it comes to using social media to make change. From stopping friends' deportations through Facebook to walking over 1,500 miles to Washington D.C. to demand federal reform (and putting it on YouTube), migrant youth have successfully created a growing online and offline movement—one story at a time. As the stories of most of panelists will illustrate, the U.S. immigration system is broken, decisions made in the name of "the law" are arbitrary and every day people and their families are suffering because of it. This interactive session will investigate both the challenges and opportunities of organizing against the odds. It will introduce attendees to some of the most inspiring young activists of our time and include plenty of time for questions and contributions from the audience.
