AMERICAN MIGRANT STORIES, IN KERN COUNTY

Last week, on October 19th, California State University Bakersfield's Center for Social Justice (CSJ) and the Immigration Justice Collaborative (IJC) co-sponsored the screening of "American Migrant Stories" at the university's Walter W. Stiern Library.

 
The Center for Social Justice - which I co-direct - secured funding from The California Endowment to follow the IJC around Kern County as they put on virtual "legal clinics" for Kern County's undocumented population.

The IJC has been putting on legal clinics throughout Kern County since November, 2016.



KGET 17 News reported on CSU, Bakersfield's Oct. 19 screening, which you can access by clicking here.

The documentary is produced by the Orozco Brothers, and will be presented again in Bakersfield (TBA) within the next two months.

Additional screenings, outside of Kern County, are being arranged.
