SUMMARY:***IN AUSTIN*** Profiling & Criminalization of Muslims\, Arabs\, Sikhs & South Asians Talk by Arjun Sethi
DESCRIPTION: \nSun\, April 23\, 2017 | Asian American Resource Center\, 8401 Cameron Rd\, Austin\, TX 78754\n12:00 PM – 1:30 PM \nSince 9/11\, Muslims\, Arabs\, Sikhs\, and South Asians have experienced racial and religious backlash because of their physical appearance and articles of faith. Recent political rhetoric\, mass shootings by violent extremists\, and biased media caricatures have exacerbated this mistreatment. Profiling\, surveillance and hate violence have become a quotidian part of life for these communities. In this lecture\, Arjun Sethi will address these civil rights challenges\, the origins of these misunderstandings\, and prospective solutions going forward. \nBio: Arjun Singh Sethi is a civil rights lawyer\, writer\, and teacher based in Washington\, D.C.

He has represented victims of domestic violence\, asylum-seekers\, national security detainees\, and criminal defendants on death row. In addition to his media work\, Sethi is also a consultant and advises foundations\, nonprofits\, and advocacy groups on rapid-response policy analysis\, public education\, community organizing\, and movement building. He is currently traveling the country and editing a book on hate speech and hate violence in connection with the 2016 presidential election cycle. He previously served as legislative counsel for human rights and national security related affairs at the American Civil Liberties Union and was an associate at the international law firm of Covington & Burling in Washington\, D.C. \nSponsored by: Center for Asian American Studies at The University of Texas at Austin\, Asian American Resource Center\, Grassroots Leadership\, and Indian American Coalition of Texas \n
