DESCRIPTION:Paul Johnston and Yesenia Molina of the Immigration Action Group will bring 
 us the latest news about : (1) resistance to our county's on-going 
 collaboration in the "Secure Communities" deportation program that is 
 traumatizing dozens of local families every month, and (2) the growing 
 youth movement for civil rights, associated with the implementation of the 
 new California DREAM Act (effective this coming January 1) in our local 
 schools.  \n\nThey will also place these two topics into the larger context 
 of social change, highlighting the centrality of immigrant empowerment 
 throughout U.S. history and the promise of a new generation of immigrant 
 youth leadership in California's immediate future.  The goal of the evening 
 will be to invite participants to join in the ongoing movement for 
 immigrant rights, and to provide sufficient information for them to do so 
 effectively.\n\nThe Immigration Action Group is a team of organizers and 
 immigrant advocates based in a variety of organizations and constituencies 
 here on the Central Coast, united in their commitment to work against the 
 daily institutionalized abuse of immigrants' human rights and for long-term 
 and comprehensive immigration reform.  Yesenia Molina is a long-time 
 activist in the Watsonville Brown Berets and a staff organizer for SCCCCOR, 
 the Santa Cruz County Community Coalition to Overcome Racism.  Paul 
 Johnston is a public sociologist, formerly on the faculty of Yale 
 University, and a longtime labor and community organizer.\n\nWILPF Public 
 Program, Tuesday June 19,  7 – 9 pm, Quaker Meetinghouse, 225 Rooney St. 
 (off the inland end of Morrissey).  Open to all.  Free, donations welcomed!
