Justice School for TIRRC

Since early 2007, Highlander has been coordinating local “Justice School” sessions for organizers, members, and leaders of the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC). The sessions combine nuts-and-bolts training on organizing and leadership skills with broader discussions of social, political, and economic issues related to immigration and the immigrant rights movement.

In March-June, fifteen TIRRC members participated in Justice School sesions in Nashville. Sessions are currently underway for TIRRC members in East Tennessee. To see pictures from a recent Justice School in Knoxville for young people active in TIRRC’s East Tennessee chapter, click here.
