KU Student Coalition for Immigrant Rights

Sept. 8th Meeting (2/2): General Group Goals and Ideas for the Year
- shed light on current immigration policies
- to get students more involved and aware
- help organize protests and calls to legislators
- cooperate with school departments for additional support/funding (LAA?)
- greater press involvement with school/local papers

Sept. 8th Meeting (1/2): We are working with HALO to bring Michael Reyes, an immigrant rights activist and a spoken word poet, to KU on Oct. 21st.

Event Goals:
- raise awareness about immigration reform
- provide counterbalance against Kobach's anti-immigrant position
- provide introduction to the group (should be held earlier than later)

Potential Locations: stage outside the Union or Wescoe beach

We should also try to include local artists and research low-cost additions to the event.
