Don’t miss out on your chance to be part of an historic event – The Night of 1,000 Conversations.

Community members are gathering on Thursday, April 5th, 2007 to consider a key question in today’s debate over immigration reform: How do our core values compare to the actions of a government that locks people up without due process?
