Immigration reform is set as a hot topic nationally this year and we’re set to leverage our power. Come listen to our communities stories and engage with multiple communities. Building off our past two LGBTQ immigration forums we’re switching it up for 2013. Rather than the traditional ‘front of the room’ format, our panelists will be among all of us and we’ll be in discussion groups so everyone can participate. Refreshments will be served. If you or your organizations have resource materials, please bring them as we will have a few tables reserved for them.Check out our facebook event page too (add link here https://www.facebook.com/events/477499208952606/).
Please email hotpotphilly (at)gmail (dot) com to RSVP and contact us with any questions.
In solidarity,
Alison, Laurent, and the hotpot! sc
