(Hidden for later use) Immigration & Disability Conference & Research 2024

Building partnerships at the national level to build strategy among advocacy, legal, academic and community leaders.

The Immigration and Disability Conference: Building Partnerships for a Just Future is a two-day conference on November 14-15, 2024, at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles hosted by The Coelho Center for Disability Law, Policy and Innovation. “Building Partnerships for a Just Future” will bring together disability and immigration rights and justice leaders from across the nation to build partnerships and discuss advocacy, law and policy, service delivery and the future of our movements. The conference also welcomes those who would like to learn more about the critical issues confronting disabled immigrants and refugees.

The two-day conference will feature keynote speakers, plenary sessions, breakout panels, roundtable discussions, and coalitional and networking opportunities.

To accommodate access needs, we will be offering a virtual option for the keynote and plenary sessions. Registration required for in-person and virtual participation.
