On May 11th, the speaker is Dave Maass, Director of Investigations for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. He has alarming information about all the surveillance towers that the Border Patrol has and will erect along our border cities and the coast of California. They reach far into the community and are in sync with BP agents. 

Last month's speaker was Rita Fernandez, Executive Director of the Office of Immigrant Affairs of the City of San Diego. This is a fairly new program as part of the Welcoming policy created by Mayor Gloria. The recommendations they've developed are partially to serve a cross-section of people in learning English, job placement, connecting them to health services, providing a safe environment, and becoming civicly engaged. They intersect with other city departments such as Children and Youth Success and with many agencies serving migrants. They have an excellent newsletter which you can sign up for:
