A group of panelists including Lucy Pineda (Latinos Unidos de Massachusetts, LUMA), Gabriel Camacho (AFSC Project Voice), Dorotea Manuela (Boston May Day Coalition), Patricia Montes (Centro Presente, Cambridge), and representatives from the National Lawyers Guild, Massachusetts Chapter and of Jobs with Justice, Immigrant Workers Rights Committee, will share their experiences in organizing for migrant workers rights.

We will also discuss the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of all Migrants Workers and Members of Their Families, and the transnational responsibilities and organizing efforts to secure that migrant workers everywhere are treated with respect as human beings who with their labor and culture contribute greatly to the countries where they arrive in search of work.
