Birthright citizenship—a cornerstone of the 14th Amendment—is once again under attack. In partnership with Asian Law Caucus, this workshop will delve into the history and ongoing relevance of the 14th Amendment, exploring how Asian Americans have played a pivotal role in shaping its legacy. Together, we’ll examine landmark moments including the Chinese Exclusion Act, United States v. Wong Kim Ark, and Executive Order 14160, and reflect on the broader question: Who gets to be an American citizen? A legal representative from Asian Law Caucus will join us for a live Q&A to address the current threats to birthright citizenship and answer your questions. Educators will leave with historical context, up-to-date legal insights, and ready-to-use resources to teach this critical topic in their classrooms.
