AAUW Palo Alto is a co-sponsor of this event:
Conversation on Immigration. Raj Mathai, primary news anchor at NBC-owned KNTV in the San Francisco Bay Area, will moderate a conversation with Ali Noorani, Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum, and Evelyn Rengal-Medina, Executive Director of the Restaurant Opportunities Center of the Bay Area at ROC-United. Introductory remarks from LWV Board Member Aisha Piracha- Zakariya.
Ali Noorani is the author of the new book There Goes The Neighborhood: How Communities Overcome Prejudice and Meet the Challenge of American Immigration.
Since its founding in 1982, the National Immigration Forum has advocated for the value of immigrants and immigration to the nation. The Forum is one of the few organizations in this field to work across a broad political spectrum both nationally and locally.
The Restaurant Opportunities United (ROC-United) engages workers, employers and consumers to improve the wages and working conditions in the restaurant industry.
