"We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community. . . Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.”

LULAC CIVIL RIGHTS TRAINING


This coming Saturday, the LULAC District is hosting a Civil Rights Training/ Forum for LULAC members and activists.

LULAC Civil Rights Forum
9:00 AM to 2:30 PM
Saturday, March 8th, 2008
Ripley House
4410 Navigation
Houston, Texas 77011 (2nd Floor; Room 209)

"The Forum is designed for our members to learn how to address or request for assistance from the general Houston population. The primary focus is on civil rights issues and is being the presented by the Co-Chairs of the LULAC National Civil Rights Commission, Ms. Mary Louise Ramos and Richard Sambrano. They have enlisted the Department of Justice and other civil rights activists to participate and present real life scenarios."

Some of you may remember meeting our LULAC National Civil Rights Chair, Mr. Sambrano, who came down from Dallas to speak at our LULAC Hunger Strike Press Conference. Some consider him a living legend for the work that he's done across the nation in the area of civil rights.

If you are interested in attending, please email LULACLawStudents@yahoo.com with your name & phone number because we need to give the District the names asap.

Gracias!
