IMMIGRANTS' DAY AT THE STATE HOUSE
Date:
Mon, 04/09/2012 (All day)
Sponsor:
Massachusetts Immigrant & Refugee Advocacy Coalition
Annual Immigrants' Day at the State House
Immigrants’ Day At the State House is an annual event celebrating the progress and contributions immigrants have made to Massachusetts. It's also an important day of advocacy where immigrants and non-immigrants alike come together to make sure their voices are heard on important issues, such as citizenship for New Americans and civic participation, access to health care and education equality, adult basic education and ESOL. This is one of MIRA's key events of the year, where we focus on building power together, growing community leaders, engaging voters, and making immigrants voices heard.
On April 6th 2011, over 500 members of the community came together to show their power in their house, the State House. MIRA Coalition would like to extend a special thanks to its members and allies who came from all across the state to represent the foreign born and advocate.
A special thanks to Senator Sonia Chang Diaz and Representative Tim O'Day, Keynote speaker Reverend Hurmon Hamilton, program moderator Sherry Dong, the cultural presentation by Angkor Dance Troupe, those who gave testimony, and Paulo Pinto for final remaks.
