African Diaspora Panel on Immigration

Featuring Gerald Lenior
Black Alliance for Just Immigration

Wednesday, October 8, 2008
1:00pm - 2:30 pm
Venue: TransAfrica Forum, 1629 K Street, NW Suite 1100

Please join Gerald Lenior, co-founder of Black Alliance for Just Alliance for a lunch-time discussion. The Alliance, or BAJI, is a group of African Americans and black immigrants working towards uniting
communities for just and fair immigration reform
[http://blackalliance.org/main/].

On Sunday, Gerald was featured at Busboys and Poets as a panelist discussing: "Finding Common Ground: Building Solidarity between African-American and Immigrant Communities." Please join us on Wednesday
as we discuss immigration within the broader socio-political context of US-LAC relations. Given the recent, controversial remarks of Lee Baca
[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7639111.stm] as well as the continued calls for TPS for Haitians, this is a very timely dialogue.

Other panelists may appear as well.
