[Shaun Harkin]

Ningun ser Humano es ilegal!

During the Socialism 2010 Conference there will be a series of meetings featuring activists, organizers and journalists from around the country on the topic of immigration. 

These meetings will be an opportunity to get a national perspective on the needs and wants of the struggle for equal rights for immigrants. This is a great chance for activists to learn from each other and discuss the serious obstacles that face hard working immigrants in the U.S. today. Don't miss the opportunity to network and sharpen your politics.
