Las Abogadas follows a handful of immigration attorneys over a multi-year odyssey beginning in 2018 as the U.S. government upends every law to protect those fleeing from violence and war. While the 2020 election brought a moment of relief and great joy for our attorneys as they watched some migrants finally be allowed into the United States, what was supposed to be a hopeful beginning turns out to create even greater challenges than they could have imagined. The screening will be followed by an update from the ACLU of Alaska on immigration actions in the state, as well as an award ceremony honoring a community partner who has been on the frontlines of this fight in Alaska. Part of the proceeds will benefit the ACLU of Alaska.
