On Wednesday, September 30, RSF author Verónica Terriquez will discuss her book Learning to Lead: Youth Organizing in Immigrant Communities at a Rose Series Speaker Event held at the University at Albany. In Learning to Lead, Terriquez examines how youth organizing groups facilitate the civic and political engagement of low-income, second-generation immigrant adolescents, enabling them to collectively exercise power alongside their non-immigrant peers and adult allies. The book offers a thorough examination of how young people acquire the capacities to become a meaningful political force.

The discussion can be attended online or in person.
