Friends & colleagues: 

APALC invites your organization to be a community co-sponsor for the 3rd annual Advancing Justice Conference, to be held in San Francisco on Oct. 27-28.  This is a national Asian American and Pacific Islander conference on civil rights and social justice issues. 

Community co-sponsors are asked to help promote the conference.  In return, we're offering each community co-sponsor the option to purchase one ticket at a discounted student rate.  Although the deadline is 8/1, we will likely continue to take community co-sponsors through the month of August.  See details below. 

Also, there are limited funds for travel stipends.  Deadline to apply is 8/21.

Thanks!
Karin
