SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Melt ICE! Part 2: Detention & Resistance Under Trump
DESCRIPTION:Join DWN for the second webinar of our Melt ICE series: Detention and Resistance under Trump on Thursday\, February 19th\, 2026 from 1pm- 2:30pm PT/ 3pm- 4:30pm CT/ 4pm-5:30pm ET.  \nICE and other federal agencies continue to escalate violence against communities across the country under Trump’s second presidency with immigration agencies killing at least seven people in our communities\, including Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Their deaths add to the growing and deadly toll of federal immigration enforcement\, with at least 6 deaths in ICE detention in January 2026 and 31 deaths in ICE custody in 2025\, an all-time high. \nThis webinar will focus on detention under Trump and how communities have been resisting including in Kansas and California.   \nWhen Trump was inaugurated there were 39\,703 people were already held in immigrant detention; more than double the number detained when Biden took office in 2021\, that number has since emerged to over 73\,000 people detained \, surpassing the previous record of 55\,000 people detained during Trump’s first administration. Trump continues to push an aggressive expansion of immigrant detention\, including proposals to use warehouses. Yet across the country\, people are organizing to stop detention expansion and to protect themselves\, their immigrant family members\, neighbors\, and friends who are at risk. Join us in this resistance!

SUMMARY:Understanding the AI Boom: Power\, Politics\, & the Future of U.S.-China Relations.
DESCRIPTION:The 1990 Institute is pleased to invite you to our latest webinar: Understanding the AI Boom: Power\, Politics & the Future of U.S.-China Relations \nArtificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how nations compete\, how economies grow\, and how cultures evolve. At the heart of this global shift is the U.S.-China relationship\, where the race for AI leadership is emerging as a modern Cold War — a watershed moment signaling that the AI revolution is no longer distant\, but already here. And when it comes to the U.S. and China\, many are seeing the future of tech as an existential race that needs to be won. \nFor a generation raised in the era of smartphones\, AI isn’t a futuristic idea—it’s part of everyday life. This webinar invites educators\, parents\, students\, and community members to look beyond the headlines and build a deeper understanding of the global forces shaping our digital and physical world today. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll examine the societal\, ethical\, and geopolitical dimensions of technology. Our aim is to lay the groundwork for modern digital literacy including empowering educators to teach it with clarity and confidence. This session is designed for everyone interested in becoming a more informed global citizen in this rapidly evolving digital age. This virtual webinar is open to all audiences\, with a segment at the end devoted to high school educators teaching contemporary history\, economics\, technology and social studies. \nSpeakers: \nGraham Webster — Editor-in-Chief\, DigiChina Project\, Stanford University — a policy expert on U.S.-China technology relations. \nZeyi Yang — Senior Writer\, WIRED — a journalist covering the cultural and human impact of China’s digital revolution. \nClay Dube — Director Emeritus\, USC U.S.-China Institute (USCI) — an expert in historical U.S.-China relations.

SUMMARY:Webinar – Family Detention: Realities and Resistance under Trump 2.0
DESCRIPTION:We have all seen the heartbreaking images of families being picked up\, zip tied\, and terrorized by ICE\, Border Patrol\, and other masked federal agents. Mothers\, fathers\, grandparents\, teenagers\, and little children – family units that start their day together and end up in detention and often separated. What happens when families are taken from our communities? Where are they detained\, what happens to the kids\, and how many are quietly deported or disappeared? \nOn Tuesday\, November 18 at 5 pm ET/ 4 pm CT/ 2 pm PT\, the National Coalition to End Family and Child Detention invites you to join us for an interactive webinar to learn about: \n\nThe history of family detention in the U.S.;\nThe current conditions families face in detention and the policies that fuel this unjust practice;\nWhat people across the country are doing to oppose family detention and protect their communities; and\nHow you can join the movement to #FreeFamilies from detention once and for all.\n\nIn the Trump Administration’s push to deport over 1 million people – with hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars funding ICE and CBP to terrorize communities – ICE has revived the practice of family detention in the United States. Family detention—like all immigration detention—is inherently inhumane\, unjust and unnecessary. Detention inflicts profound harm on both children and adults that continues long after they are released and is especially traumatizing for children. As a growing number of families are kidnapped\, detained\, and forcibly removed or disappeared\, it has never been more important for us to stand up for justice and for one another. \nSpeakers include: \n\nMike Ishii\, Tsuru for Solidarity\nAmy Fischer\, Amnesty USA\nJavier Hidalgo\, RAICES\nGuadalupe De la Cruz\, American Friends Service Committee (FL)\nBeatriz Batres\, La ColectiVA\nSulma Franco Chamale\, Grassroots Leadership\nTania Wolf\, National Immigration Project\n\nPlease share widely with your networks and communities! Spanish – English interpretation will be available.
