-As different immigrant/multi-racial communities, what are our contexts towards building autonomy?
-What are some of the common networks and struggles?
-How do we undermine each other?
-What are some unaddressed problems and issues?
-What challenges arise when we attempt to create autonomous spaces while at the same time working to create popular movements?
