broad-based grassroots immigrant  rights movements run by de-centralized 
volunteer-based community-rooted  immigrant rights activists from youth, workers and 
community members who can  play more active role on campaign formulation and 
decision making for local  coalition building to organize popular education 
campaigns, such as: campaign to  against immigrant dentition, deportation & raids; 
immigrant labor rights  movement; campaign against local anti-immigrant 
ordinance; and linking the  immigrant rights movement with other struggles, such as: 
anti-war and  anti-globalization movements. 

We'll also discuss the lessons from the  2008 election and what we should 
expect from the new President and the Congress  affecting immigrant legislation 
for the next two years.
