Videos: Advocating for Children in Migration Symposium
September 21, 2023: The Center for Bioethics and Humanities held a multidisciplinary program featuring a variety of approaches to advocacy including arts and literature, law, medicine and behavioral health, music, and the performing arts. Bringing this powerful collection of arts and advocacy projects to our Center was the inspiration of Professor Warren Binford, whose work recalls the moral imperative all of us have to speak out when we witness injustice. Professor Binford became the inaugural W.H. Lea Endowed Chair for Justice in Pediatric Law, Policy and Ethics at the University of Colorado in 2020. View video archives of the complete program below.

Lee Gelernt
Lee Gelernt is the Deputy Director of the ACLU’s Immigration Rights Project. Gelernt has argued some of the country’s highest profile cases, including a national class-action challenge ending the Trump administration’s practice of separating immigrant families at the border, and the travel ban on individuals from certain Muslim-majority nations in which he won an injunction against the ban only one day after the president enacted it.
