Immigrant communities are answering the call to address the challenges facing people of color, regardless of their immigration status. Workshop attendees will examine two case studies that demonstrate strategies immigrant communities have used to build strong community organizations and win issue on the local and national levels. They will learn how to use these strategies to build political power within their community.

Immigration Advocacy Associate Eduardo Garcia and Events Associate Khushboo Rami present this workshop in conjunction with the National Council of La Raza’s 2011 Lideres Summit. For more information, please see this website.
