**************************

The Foundation for Immigrant Resources and Education  (FIRE), along
with the Central Presbyterian Church, would like to invite you to take
part in a forum discussing recent immigration legislation  and policy
alternatives on March  14, Tuesday, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at the church
located at 500 Cedar Street, St. Paul, MN  55101.  The forum will
include a speaker panel and a question and answer period from the
audience. In addition, there will be opportunities for those in
attendance to sign up to volunteer for organizations serving
immigrants, and opportunities to learn more  about ways to contact the
state legislature and have your voice heard.  The forum is expected to
generate increased awareness of the issues  facing our immigrant
community, the implications of these policies on existing  programs
for immigrants, and to offer alternatives for our government to
consider. We also believe this forum will encourage participants to
become more active in supporting the rights and needs of immigrant
communities. We hope to see you there!
