Saturday-Frente Accion Latino organizing meeting

submitted by youngs@augsburg.edu

Latino leaders and non Latino supporters will assemble to share a vision of a Latino-led effort to address issues in common to all of us. We will form an action coalition to help each other on political-cultural-social issues in common. Latino groups will maintain their autonomy as before and still address their individual ethnic and culture related issues.

EN LA UNIÓN ESTÁ LA FUERZA! Dream away what we can accomplish together!

Please invite your friends and other Latino or non-Latino supporting organizations. All Latino groups are invited to share common values and what concerted actions are possible.
