The call for a general amnesty for 10 million workers - more than half are from Mexico - extended from the halls of Congress to President Vicente Fox of Mexico. Please join as we seek to understand immigration in the context of corporate-centered globalization, discuss the need for a general amnesty for undocumented workers and discuss practical ways of supporting the rights of undocumented workers; Donations accepted, info Megan Histand mlhistand@hotmail.com or 206-324-2379
