DESCRIPTION:Amidst a front-line human rights crisis in Alabama powerful multiracial 
 coalitions are growing. African American Freedom Riders are working with 
 Latin@ Dreamers who are working with Occupy Birmingham and others to fight 
 back against HB56-- one of the most oppressive anti-immigrant bills in the 
 US.\n\nHear from organizers who have been working in Alabama about the 
 impacts of HB 56 on the ground, the value based organizing strategy and 
 untied front approach. Please bring your thoughts on how we can build this 
 movement and what Bay Area organizers and organizations can 
 contribute.\n\nAlabama, is both a place which experienced some of the 
 harshest racism and civil rights abuses and also some of the most impactful 
 and influential organizing of the civil rights movement. That history is 
 still so present and many of the veterans and decedents of the civil rights 
 movement are stepping up in the struggle against HB 56, outraged at the 
 parallels of racism, abuse and Jim Crow nature. Immigrants are getting 
 organized and forming new organizations all over the state. As the impacts 
 become more widely felt and recognized unlikely allies, like business 
 associations, republican farmers and business owners, international 
 business, city chambers of commerce, mayors, county sheriffs and police 
 chiefs are coming out against the law. Incredibly present is the potential 
 national impact of the struggle and possible deep effects of a repeal on 
 immigrant and human rights movement nationally.\n\nSpanish translation will 
 be available. This space is wheelchair accessible. To help keep this space
