The historic Immigrants Rights protests earlier this year were the
largest protests on any issue in the history of the U.S. Today
immigrant sweeps and deportations are continuing while anti-immigrant
legislation continues to move through congress. How is race coloring
the national debate on immigration? How can we build stronger
cross-racial and cross-class alliances among communities of color? In
this election year, how can we not be pit against each other, but see
our common ground? How and why especially should faith communities be
involved in this struggle for full human rights, citizenship, dignity
and participation?
