MIFN continues to work towards humanizing the face of immigration in the media - we encourage you to consider registering for this important media justice training opportunity given by Teresa Obrero and Nick Espinosa this Saturday.
Through our collaboration with the Center for New Community, the organization spearheading the Nativism Watch groups, we hope you can learn more about how to help bring justice to the immigration debate in the media.

What is this training about?
Participants will learn about Nativism Watch, a national network that works with the media to counter anti-immigrant media bias. We write letters to the editor, Op-Eds and contact journalists to inform them of the small fraction of political extremists who are seeking to use immigration to further a white nationalist agenda.
Nativism Watch exposes the racist roots of the John Tanton Network, one of the nation’s leading anti-immigrant voice. Here is a link to an educational video about the history of the Tanton group:
