Thank you to everyone for joining us for our 3-part webinar series on the Root Causes of Forced Migration. We are incredibly grateful to the speakers, moderators, and endorsers of this series.

The purpose of this series is to combat the neoliberal narratives and co-optation of the root causes that are forcing people around the world to migrate from their homelands. It is also meant to bridge the struggles of movements since many of them are connected to these root causes (i.e. gender-based violence, climate change, privatization, etc.), including across NLG Committee work. 

Below are links to transcripts, recorded webinars, and ways to support the organizations who were involved in making this series happen. We highly encourage you to find ways to engage with the work of these organizations as well as the work of the NLG Committees so that we can remain committed to fighting against the acceleration of root causes of forced migration.

If you are interested in participating with related committees, you can find descriptions and contact information at the links here: 

• NLG-SFBA International Committee
• NLG-SFBA Immigration Justice Committee
• NLG-SFBA Environmental Justice Committee

To become a member of the NLG-SFBA, you can sign-up here!
