WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY IN THE CURRENT IMMIGRATION MOVEMENT?
WHAT DOES THE REGION NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MAY 1st ECONOMIC BOYCOTT?

Though the immigrant rights movement has become a heated issue in the media, there is a need to put an effective and reliable informational system in place to support organizers strategizing effective messaging and making decisions regarding future actions.

The Pan Valley Institute of the American Friends Service Committee and New America Media are inviting you to a forum to discuss how the immigration reform debate and the national economic boycott will affect the Central Valley. What do you need to know about the current immigrant rights movement? How can this movement become more inclusive amongst various communities? How can groups work together to advance immigrant rights?
