The 8th National Low-Income Immigrants' Rights Conference will get you up to speed on laws and policies impacting immigrants today, and connect you with immigrant rights advocates working at the national, state and local levels. You will be able to participate in the development of advocating strategies related to critical issues affecting low-income immigrants in the U.S. including:
Workers' Rights
