Tune in to hear how CAJ & PILS coordinate their own organisational expertise to promote human rights in NI. You'll hear timely reflections on combatting toxic anti-immigration rhetoric, as well as discussions on untangling complex legal 'spaghetti' and staying hopeful as we all work together for change.
