Description of Event: 

Immigration "yesterday," looking at the Bread & Roses Strike.

Immigration today, looking at the national Day Without Immigrants strike happening on May Day. 

Join us for a insightful conversation with Glennys Sanchez, President of the Bread & Roses Heritage Committee, the organization that coordinates the annual Bread & Roses Heritage Festival that we all love, as we talk about how immigrants had faced adversity at the hands of oppressive politics and capital then, and how that is still the very same struggle going on right now.
