Join us for a collective study session on lessons from the struggle against immigration detention, drawing on extracts from John Washington's
How to Close a Camp. Through a shared reading and drawing on organizing lessons and experiences of folks in the room, we will explore the different ways the border regime and detention state can and must be resisted.
Reading the book's Introduction, or “
This is How We Close the Camps” by John Washington in the Nation, ahead of the session is ideal but not necessary to attend.
How to Close a Camp is also available from
haymarketbooks.org and at the Socialism 2026 bookstore.
