We invite the community to this free event, a chance to learn more about policies that affect the surge of immigrants worldwide.

She did field research in Brazil over a 27-year period and worked for Amnesty International, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, the Rainforest Foundation, and other NGOs on human rights, migration, environmental and international development issues. She has spoken about migration issues to diverse audiences in the US, UK, Ireland, Holland and France.  Some of you may remember her as discussion leader at a recent “Reel & Meal” event featuring Purgatorio, about immigrants on the US/Mexico border.
