Fundraiser for Pro-Immigrant US-Mexico Border Trip
A fundraising dinner and film, sponsored by the Task Force on the Americas, will be held on Friday, March 28, to help finance a five-member Marin delegation going to investigate conditions at the US-Mexico border. The event will be held at the First United Methodist Church, 9 Ross Valley Drive, San Rafael. The venue is wheelchair accessible.
Dinner is at 6 PM followed by remarks from community members and the showing of the documentary Morristown. This film tells how US workers are faced with the costs of NAFTA and globalization. Their factory is closed down and shipped to Mexico; but instead of folding up, the workers from eastern Tennessee join with Mexican workers to unionize and fight for they rights.
Two of the trip's delegates are Task Force board members, and all five are members of the Marin Immigrant Rights Coalition. For the last two months the team has been videotaping interviews with Canal-area immigrants who explain their reasons for coming to the U.S. and the struggles they continue to face.
A $15-25 donation is requested. If you are unable to attend the fundraiser, please send your tax deductible donation to MITF/Border Trip, P.O. Box 925, Larkspur, CA 94977 or pledge online: www.mitfamericas.org. For more information call 415/924-3227, email mitf@igc.org or go to the website mentioned above.
