DESCRIPTION:OccupyForum presents…\n\nImmigration Crisis in the Bay Area\nMeeting, 
 Discussion and Planning \nWith Gayle McLaughlin and All Groups Working\nto 
 Stop Deportations\n\nWe are witnessing a most serious threat to our 
 immigrant communities.\nBut it is important to realize that the attacks on 
 immigrants have aroused widespread, diverse and potentially powerful 
 opposition. Included are immigrant groups themselves, activist groups, 
 churches and faith groups, labor unions, lawyers, and some progressive, 
 especially local, politicians.\n\nGayle McLaughlin is the former two-term 
 mayor of Richmond, CA, Richmond’s first corporate-free elected official, 
 and a co-founder of the Richmond Progressive Alliance. As Mayor, Gayle led 
 Richmond to significant transformation into a progressive City establishing 
 rent control, increasing minimum wage, forcing Chevron to pay over $100 
 million in taxes, reducing homicides, preventing foreclosures, and 
 promoting green energy. She is currently running for Lt. Governor to seize 
 this moment for real, people-focused change. Gayle will speak to us about 
 her campaign and the RPA model, and then focus on her position in support 
 of defending immigrant rights, and how we need to mobilize to address the 
 crisis at hand. \n\nGroups are working to establish a presence at ICE at 
 630 Sansome from 4 - 6 pm every weekday. We are devoting our Monday 
 OccupyForums to this issue and beginning to hold meetings for the Immigrant 
 community and their supporters. This Monday will include our first meeting 
 of groups devoted to stopping deportations. With our different tactics and 
 strategies, we’ll discuss how we can offer each other support and 
 unification to stop ICE.\n\nMonday, February 5th, from 6:45 - 9 pm at SEIU 
 Local 2\n215 Golden Gate Avenue near Civic Center BART 
 station\nInformation, discussion & community! Monday Night Forum!!\nOccupy 
 Forum is an opportunity for open and respectful dialogue\non all sides of 
 these critically important issues!\n\nAnnouncements will follow. Donations 
 to OccupyForum\nto cover our costs are encouraged; no one turned away. \n
