The Struggle for Immigrant Justice in Virginia

Amidst my trip preparations, immigrants, activists, workers, and community members are coming together to fight the racist anti-immigrant legislation that came out of Prince William County last month.  This struggle has implications for the rest of my homestate, and the country as a whole.  For more information on how to become involved in Virginia, contact The People United at (434) 906-0421 or info@thepeopleunited.org, or see the links below:

 A story from Beltway Area Indymedia detailing the organized response to legislation in Prince William County, Va. which would deny county services to those who could not prove their legal status, and force county police to check the immigration status of anyone detained.
