More recently, he has organized Southern California’s Chicano community to speak out against war and empire, and is an active member of the Los Angeles Committee to Stop FBI Repression. Carlos will discuss how to defend our right to political expression and to protect our communities from government targeting and surveillance.

We will be joined by other activists who will speak on the current targeting of Arab and Muslim communities and government raids in undocumented and immigrant communities.
