This panel discussion is focused on developing a better understanding of how migrants are politically conscious people who are resisting the violence of the states in which they are seeking protection. It aims to move beyond the narrative that migrants are simply passive victims of humanitarian aid. We have a dynamic set of panelists on board, including Afghan organizers who have worked with refugees in Greece and have had personal experience with this issue. We look forward to an informative and thoughtful discussion!
