On Thursday, February 28, Mario Castillo Martinez and Hamid Yazdan Panah of the Northern California Rapid Response and Immigrant Defense Network (NCRRIDN), housed at the Justice & Diversity Center (JDC), were invited to present as guest lecturers by Dr. Caitlin Patler at UC Davis. Together with co-panelist Karla Rodriguez Beltran, Ph.D. student in Cultural Studies, they presented at Dr. Patler’s Sociology 4: Immigration and Opportunity class

The lecture offered an opportunity for undergraduates at UC Davis to understand the model of NCRRIDN and opportunities to get involved in immigrant defense. Dr. Patler has been involved with NCRRIDN’s work as a consultant and technical advisor with regard to data, intake and research
