2009 offers our movement for justice in rural Oregon historic opportunities to build on the victories of the 2008 election. But it also offers historic challenges. In the midst of a deepening recession, an entrenched war at home and abroad, and intensified scapegoating of immigrants and people of color, it's time for some hope!
CAUSA would like to invite you to attend Rural Organizing Project's Annual Rural Caucus & Strategy Session on Sunday, March 15th in Salem.
Sunday Rural Caucus: A Day of Strategy and Inspiration including a Mid-Day Rally to Stop the Wars at Home and Abroad
Two of Sunday afternoon's workshops will focus on immigration and immigrants rights: one will discuss Just and Humane Immigration reform from a variety of perspectives, including from the point of view of members of Latinos Unidos para un Futuro Mejor, the new Columbia County group. The second will be a discussion with immigration attorney Stephen Manning addressing rights that immigrants have under the law, and where these rights do or do not intersect with what we know to be moral and just.
To register for the Caucus or find out more information, contact sarah@rop.org or call 503-543-8417.
