All the talks and activities focused on advocacy for individuals and groups who have voices that often cannot or will not be heard. We had a busy and stimulating agenda that included lectures addressing transgender issues, Black Lives Matter, the rights of LBGQT youth, community approaches to addressing radicalization, and surviving torture. As well as a traditional trolley tour of San Diego, a had a tour City Heights where we were introduced to people and initiatives trying to support the most vulnerable citizens of San Diego. We were also able to travel to the US-Mexico border where we spoke with immigration advocates and US Border Patrol officers.
