The Forum
Cathi Tactaquin
Immigration and Race in the Global Era
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
Schofield Auditorium | 7:30 P.M.
"We need to recognize that historical inequities,
whether
based on race, religion, ethnicity,
nationality
or even immigration status, have led to long
term
problems of social and economic instability."
- Cathi Tactaquin
Cathi Tactaquin is director of the California-based National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, an alliance of grassroots, community, labor and faith organizations working for fairness and justice in immigration policy.
Drawing on her experiences as the daughter of a farm worker, an organizer in the Filipino community and
an international migrant activist, she calls for a greater understanding of how the worldwide demographic
shift is challenging perceptions, attitudes, policies and laws for both race relations and immigration.
Interpreted for the deaf and hard of hearing.
