[Peace] tomorrow, Sunday: 2nd seminar on Global/local immigration

[Susan Parenti]

Hello friends—Tomorrow is our second session of the seminar on global/local
immigration, Sunday, 4-6pm, 122 Franklin Street.  Please come if you can!
(see details down below).

Tomorrow we’ll talk about what we’ve found out about immigration in other
countries, and how people respond to the injustice of most of the policies
around it.

Rick Esbenshade has offered links to 2 articles he’s written on this
subject for the Public I:
