Border civil rights issues are no longer limited to the Southwest. Racial and religious profiling, harassment, abusive interrogation, searches without probable cause, road checkpoints and sweeps of public transit have become common along the Northern border, and across the country. Border Patrol and Field Operations continue to act with unaccountable disregard for basic human and civil rights standards.

At the Northern Borders Organizing conference, we’ll discuss the reality on the ground in the North and South, and attempt to build concrete organizing legal, organizing, policy, and political strategies that we can move forward together.
