Las Abogadas | March 25, 2023 | Noon | Boys & Girls Club

Las Abogadas follows four women immigration attorneys over a four-year odyssey as the U.S. Government under President Trump upends every law to protect those fleeing from violence and war. Rebecca Eichler, Mulu Alemayehu, Charlene D’Cruz and Jodi Goodwin stand up to insurmountable odds as they find their usual legal tools being systematically twisted, thwarted, and pulled out from under their critical work by chaotic, anti-immigrant policy changes, that are later complicated further by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
