Push and Pull: Free Trade and the Immigration Debate
Monday, 5:30 pm, April 30th
Friends Center, Rufus Jones Room
1501 Cherry St., Philadelphia

The dramatic debate over immigration that played out in America’s streets and the halls of Congress last year has returned to the national stage with increasing raids against immigrants and the introduction of the STRIVE Act legislation. David Bacon and Juan Manuel Sandoval, two leading scholars and activists, one from each side of the border, will help us grapple with the complex and controversial issues surrounding free trade and immigration using photos and stories from their years of organizing.
