Throughout the year, we’ve all worked tirelessly to fend off the anti-immigrant fervor gripping the nation and construct a future in which everyone in the U.S.—regardless of their income or where they were born— can work without being exploited, support their family, and live with dignity. But more often than not, we’ve focused on discrete issues that affect immigrants’ lives, and toiled in dispersed regions and locations. We’ve been able to join forces sporadically, and sometimes only briefly.On December 8-10, hundreds of immigrants’ rights leaders, experts and activists from across the country will come together in Washington, DC. Here’s your chance to join us for three stimulating and intensive days focused on collectively shaping immigrants’ rights advocacy agendas for 2012.FIVE REASONS YOU SHOULD REGISTER NOW FOR THE 8TH NATIONAL LOW-INCOME IMMIGRANT RIGHTS CONFERENCE• Hear inspirational speakers share knowledge and cutting-edge ideas about the most pressing issues immigrants and their allies will face in the coming years.• Share experiences and victories from the 2011 state legislative campaigns to expand access to education for undocumented youth and to strategize on how we can build on these victories in 2012.• Discuss the lessons learned from the DREAM Act campaign of 2009-2010 and what it means for the movement to obtain legalization.• Learn more about the Administration’s new proposal to halt the deportation of some undocumented immigrants including DREAM Act eligible youth and how you can use it to help youth in your area.• Explore whether comprehensive immigration reform as we know it is dead or can be revived.Take advantage of the early-bird rate—a 20% savings off the regular registration cost—only good until October 31, 2011.
