To continue our work from the Community Gathering last week,  Student Union is partnering with the Office of Global Activities and the Office of Student Services, to host a Letter Writing Campaign. The campaign will be centered on various topics that relate to current developments in immigration/asylum policy and enforcement.  We want to invite students, faculty and staff, within and outside of the SSW, to write to their state and national representatives expressing their concerns, and to urge the reps to push for humanitarian reform within various sectors of the immigration system. We will have various writing stations with postcards and the resources needed for participants to take action. RSVP: http://archive.ssw.umich.edu/forms/rsvp/index.html?eventID=E3714
