Migrant organizers craft new scripts that part ways from the conventional defense of immigration that intensify settler technologies of enforcement and valorize the hardworking, deserving immigrant. The organizers formulate and enact abolitionist politics to dismantle settler structures, discourses, and logics. / Monisha Das Gupta is professor in the Departments of Ethnic Studies and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of ��ɫ������վʻi at ����ԴDz�.
