Cam, a National Park Service resource manager and archaeologist, worked to protect cultural and natural resources, ensure legal compliance, and educate visitors. Despite positive performance reviews, she was fired overnight with no explanation. Listen to her story and share.

We'll be sharing more resources at the end of this webinar. First, we're sharing the @aclu.org's "You Have Rights" series of videos here.

The AFT also has immigration resources for educators, healthcare professionals, public employees, and community members.

You can find those here. https://www.aft.org/our-community/immigration

@rweingarten.bsky.social: We're seeing a huge chilling effect on immigrants and on academic freedom in higher ed. How do you innovate and create new things without academic freedom? These early days of the Trump administration feel like a competition between chaos and cruelty.

@rweingarten.bsky.social: We're here tonight to talk about the law, talk about the protections we're trying to put into place, and talk about how we protect students and faculty and friends - whether they're international, undocumented, DACA, in a mixed status family, or in an uncertain situation.

@rweingarten.bsky.social: AFT's fighting for every campus to be a place where students are free to learn, faculty are free to teach, & we can create hubs of knowledge & innovation with dignity, acceptance & opportunity for all. That is the key to the American Dream.

@proftwolf.bsky.social: We need to remind people that higher education is the engine of the economy, innovation, social mobility, and democracy in this country.
