Immigrant and Refugee Rights Convening: Building Local Power—May 20-21, Harrisburg
May 20, 2018 - May 21, 2018
From the Pennsylvania Immigration and Citizenship Coalition (http://www.paimmigrant.org):
In the face of an extreme anti-immigrant agenda at the federal and state levels, it is more important than ever to build alliances among immigrant and refugee communities and allies. Through local coalitions and partnerships we can build the power to defend our communities and fight for the policies we need.
