Ananda Tomas grew up across Texas and New Mexico and earned her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Social Work before traveling the country with AmeriCorps and Change Corps, a grassroots organizing academy. After moving to San Antonio, she worked on the Bernie 2016 campaign and organized with Texas Organizing Project. She later earned her Master’s in Political Science from UTSA in 2020 and has since dedicated her work to racial justice and ending police brutality in San Antonio.
As founder of ACT 4 SA, launched in 2021, Ananda has helped win multiple criminal justice policy changes in Bexar County and created the state’s first police accountability dashboard at copthedata.com. Her work connects data, organizing, and advocacy to build safer and more accountable communities.
This presentation will cover basic Immigration Know Your Rights information, strategies for fighting expedited removal, updates on immigration hearings and other interior enforcement by ICE/DHS, and local community responses in San Antonio and across Texas.
The discussion will offer lessons that may inform current efforts and highlight needed strategies for communities nationwide.
