SUMMARY:Giving Tuesday 2025

With your support\, UIDN can provide a lifeline in this time of crisis. \nPlease partner with us to meet our goal of $75\,000. Donate here.

SUMMARY:Launch: Module on Immigration in Early Childhood Education
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin CUNY’s Initiative on Immigrant Education for the virtual launch of Immigration in Early Childhood Education. \nParticipants will learn ways educators can create welcoming learning environments for immigrant-origin students and their families. \nThis resource was created for PreK-2nd grade educators to better support the youngest students and their families across public\, private\, and religious preschools\, Head Start sites\, childcare centers\, and community-based organizations. This module is released as the rights of immigrants are under attack\, and their access to education programs such as Head Start is being restricted for undocumented families.

SUMMARY:Mapping Deportations: a classroom-friendly digital resource
DESCRIPTION:Learn about a classroom-friendly digital resource that invites visitors to see the history of U.S. immigration enforcement not as a series of disconnected events\, but as a pattern. \nFor more than two centuries\, U.S. immigration enforcement has favored Europeans and their descendants while targeting non-white migrants for exclusion\, removal\, and punishment. Although U.S. immigration law and policy have shifted over time\, the nation’s immigration enforcement regime has consistently produced this result. \nMapping Deportations offers data visualizations and a timeline to delve deeper into the details of deportation as well as immigrant exclusion\, punishment\, and the informal process known as “voluntary departure.” \nSite co-creator and award-winning historian Kelly Lytle Hernandez will provide an introduction to the purpose and design of the site\, including how the history of anti-immigrant legislation and racism are intertwined. Participants will meet in small groups to brainstorm ways to integrate the site in curriculum\, followed by time to ask Hernandez questions and discuss ideas. Free. Donations welcome.
