 and racial justice organizers are calling for the abolition of the war on 
 terror and the deportation machine. This panel will discuss how recent 
 campaigns change the terrain of debates within policy spheres and create 
 new openings for organizing. The panel will analyze developments within 
 contemporary abolitionist organizing and put it in conversation with the 
 internationalism of 20th century left social 
 movements.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nSilky Shah is the Executive Director of 
 Detention Watch Network, a national coalition building power to abolish 
 immigration detention in the United States. She has worked as an organizer 
 on issues related to immigration detention, the prison industrial complex, 
 and racial and migrant justice for nearly 20 years.\n\nDarakshan Raja is 
 the co-director of the Justice For Muslims Collective, a community-based 
 organization that works to dismantle structural Islamophobia through 
 community organizing and empowerment, raising political consciousness and 
 narrative shifting, and building strategic alliances across 
 movements.\n\nAziz Rana is a professor of law at Cornell University, and 
 his research focuses on how shifting notions of race, citizenship, and 
 empire have shaped American legal and political identity. He is the author 
 of The Two Faces of American Freedom (Harvard University Press, 
 2014).\n\nAmna Akbar is a professor of law at The Ohio State University 
 Moritz College of Law. She writes about policing and social movements, with 
 a focus on grassroots demands for social change.\n
