Submitted by the Event Organizer
Sara Matlin, chair of the North Peninsula Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, has had her hands full lately trying to counter the effects of the Trump administration (as well as previously at times the Obama administration). With the current White House hell-bent on getting rid of as many immigrants as possible and San Mateo County a home for a number of them trying to find work and stability, ACLU-NP is often head-to-head with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s office as it looks out for the civil rights of these newcomers.
On February 11, Sara Matlin will be the guest of PASMC with a talk entitled “Making Immigrant Rights Real in San Mateo County”. Sara will address efforts to protect civil rights here, and the obstacles to do that and countering different levels of law enforcement. She will also offer ways for citizens to get involved in protecting immigrant rights.
