Labor Education & Research Center

The Assembly is for workers to talk to one another about immigration, how it affects working families in all of our communities, and what we can do to stop exploitation on the job and in the streets.

“How can workers, immigrant communities and their supporters respond to ICE raids?”

“How can we overcome stereotypes and myths about each others’ communities to create a stronger power base and solidarity?”

“How are children in immigrant communities dealing with the ongoing terrorizing of their families by some municipal law enforcement and ICE. How can community allies help?”

All workers regardless of their gender, sexual identity, color, ethnicity, creed or national origin are invited to attend and to encourage others who are concerned about this issue to attend as well.
