Social Justice Tuesday - Meeting the Moment With Ethical Storytelling: Navigating Fear, Minimizing Harm, and Centering Humanity
Hosted by Student Advocates for Immigrant (SAI) Justice, we will discuss working with vulnerable clients in the midst of the current administration's practices and how to tell clients' stories humanely yet powerfully. Students will leave ready to collaborate with immigrant clients to tell stories rooted in dignity, empathy, and truth—working alongside them in ways that honor their voices, avoid harm, and resist fearmongering, trauma exploitation, or further marginalization. We will also discuss how to tell a client's story in a memo, declaration, or orally in court in a way that highlights resilience, but remains effective and persuasive.
We will have three panelists - Tye Reed (community organizer and former interim Executive Director at Real Change Newspaper), Wendy Roman (NWIRP attorney and UW law alum), and Assistant Teaching Professor Jaclyn Celebrezze.
