I run a research center that studies the Right wing in order to support social justice groups. As we build a just future in the U.S. and beyond, Latinx organizers must not only challenge the state, but also deal with different right-wing forces that are both attacking and attempting to coopt our communities. If you're concerned about anti-immigrant campaigns, Trump, the Koch Brothers' LIBRE project and similar, let's talk. You can also check out the workshop I'm doing: "To Expel, Exploit, Destroy, or Recruit Latinxs?: Understanding the Right Wing's Plans for Us." I'm Brasilian-born -- can hang with Spanish but am much better in Portuguese or English.

My group, Political Research Associates, also works on repro justice, lgbtq liberation, worker struggles, political repression, surveillance & policing, and the U.S. Christian Right in the Third World.

Here's the workshop description:
It seems that everyone has a plan for Latinxs. Donald Trump calls for deporting all unauthorized immigrants and creating a registry for Muslims. Leading anti-immigrant groups fight to keep the U.S. majority-white. The Koch brothers' LIBRE program wants a right-wing Latino voting bloc and a growing network of conservative Hispanic evangelical churches aligns itself with the Christian Right.

As we build a just future in the U.S. and beyond, Latinx organizers must not only challenge the state, but also deal with different right-wing forces that are both attacking and attempting to coopt our communities. We'll look at the key sectors of the Right, their different programs for Latinxs, and how the concept of a Three-Way-Fight can sharpen our analysis and our strategies.
