ROC Summer Institute: Economic Refugees- Migration and the Growing Divide

07/09/2009 - 6:00pm

What are the facts about immigration? What is pushing and pulling workers and families to leave their homeland and emigrate to the U.S.? Who benefits from the rules that allow in some workers and criminalize others? What do foreign-born and domestic workers have in common? What about immigration "reforms"? Learn about ways to close the political and social divides that put workers and communities against each other.

Facilitators: Jeannette Huezo (UFE), with help from Sarah Horsley

More information on the ROC Summer Institute:
Supporters of the Radical Organizing Conference (ROC) are pleased to announce the ROC Summer Institute. Since 2003, there have been four ROCs. At each one, participants have talked about how we can do our work in a way that brings about radical change (gets to the root cause of problems). In that spirit, the ROC Summer Institute will offer short courses that allow participants to think even more deeply about the "big picture: and learn new skills as they continue their practical work for justice. Please join us for one (or more!) of these exciting workshops.
