Join Us for the Advancing Justice Conference Oct. 29-30

The Asian American Justice Center and its affiliates—the Asian Pacific
American Legal Center, the Asian Law Caucus and the Asian American
Institute—are hosting the 2009 Advancing Justice Conference in Los
Angeles, Calif. The annual conference, which will focus on civil
rights and social justice issues that impact the diverse Asian
American and Pacific Islander communities, will be held Oct. 29-30 at
The Center at Cathedral Plaza in downtown Los Angeles.

Attendees to the conference will not only have the opportunity to
network with fellow attendees in one of the largest Asian American
communities in the country, but also get the latest information on
legislative policy, Census 2010, immigration reform, hate crimes,
health care access, English language acquisition and so much more.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to attend cutting-edge workshops,
connect with key social justice leaders and hear from nationally
renowned civil rights speakers.

The Advancing Justice Conference is an inaugural national civil rights
and social justice conference, expected to draw several hundred
individuals from across the country. The conference aims to bring
together a diverse group of stakeholders in one place to address a
broad range of issues facing the Asian American and Pacific Islander
community. It serves as a unique forum where researchers, advocates,
direct service providers and other leaders can meet face-to-face, talk
about their common challenges and find ways to work collaboratively.

Taking place over two days, the conference covers a variety of issues
including: immigration reform and enforcement, immigrant integration,
human rights, civil rights and national security, health care, Census
2010, redistricting, low-wage workers, hate crimes, and LGBT rights.
It also includes presentations on corporate and foundation
fundraising, new media, community organizing, board and commission
participation, capacity building, and intergroup collaboration.

The Advancing Justice Conference is a joint project by the Asian
American Institute (Chicago), Asian American Justice Center
(Washington, D.C.), Asian Law Caucus (San Francisco) and Asian Pacific
American Legal Center (Los Angeles).
