Coming up!: The Immigration and Border Dialogues Conference

brought to you by Bridges Not Walls.

May 15th-18th, 2008 The Evergreen State College Olympia, WA www.oly-wa.us/Bridges/

Join us! Presenters and performers from organizations active both regionally and internationally will come together to address immigration. Join in discussion, workshops, theatre, art and seminars to stimulate the growth of a movement. Let's work toward sustainable futures for individuals and families on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border! Email bridgesnotwalls@riseup.net for conference registration information.

"It's not really a border, it's a scar. Will it heal? Will it bleed once more?" -Carlos Fuentes
