JwJ Forum - Issues in Immigration: Working Class Solutions

Saturday May 31, 2008 1:00 PM

6401 SE Foster

The purpose of this forum is to increase communication within the labor community about the very controversial topic of immigration.

Around the country, labor organizations, community organizations, faith organizations and politicians are weighing in on this issue. Unfortunately, the media primarily presents a shallow and often inaccurate picture of the issue. Although immigration and the issues surrounding it are critical for labor and for unions, many union members only hear the sound bites. As people committed to workers' rights and economic justice we also need to get the facts, assess our values, and come up with solutions for all working people.

The forum will give us a chance to get information about the following topics:

Can people migrate to the U.S legally?
How do corporate attacks affect workers here and globally?
How are immigrant workers organizing?

Most important, there will be ample time for discussion in which we will think together about what possibilities exist and how we can move forward in the struggle for justice for all workers.
