broad-based grassroots immigrant rights movements run by de-centralized
volunteer-based community-rooted immigrant rights activists from
youth, workers and community members who can play more active role on campaign
formulation and decision making for local coalition building to
organize popular education campaigns, such as: campaign to against
immigrant dentition, deportation & raids; immigrant labor rights movement;
campaign against local anti-immigrant ordinance; and linking the immigrant
rights movement with other struggles, such as: anti-war and anti-globalization
movements.



We'll also discuss the lessons from the 2008 election and what we should expect
from the new President and the Congress affecting immigrant legislation for the
next two years.
