the open borders conference – 2018

It is my pleasure to announce the speaker and panelist list for the 2018 Open Borders Conference. The conference will occur on October 20, 2018 at the GMU Law School in Arlington, Virginia. We will have two excellent key note speakers:

• • Lizbeth Mateo – A California based attorney, Mateo is a strong advocate of immigrant rights and the right to migrate. She is an activist, practicing attorney, and was recently appointed to the California Student Opportunity and Access Program.
  • Bryan Caplan – Caplan is professor of economics at George Mason University in Virginia. Professor Caplan has long argued for open borders between countries on economic and ethical grounds. He is also the author of books on voting, parenting, and education.

We are also lucky to have a number scholars and activists who will participate in two panels on “theory and the law” and “practice and activism:”

• • Shikha Dalmia, Reason Foundation
  • Rev. Kaji Dousa, Park Avenue Christian Church of Manhattan
  • Sara Gozalo, New Sanctuary Coalition
  • Jamila Hammami, Social worker & organizer
  • Adriane Lopez, La ColectiVA
  • Ilya Somin, GMU Law
  • Balmore, Caravana Migrante 2018

You are all invited to this conference. If you can’t make it, we also welcome donations as the conference is run on a truly shoe string budget. Thanks for reading – and spread the word!
