Are undocumented immigrants entitled to human rights? Have their rights been violated? What are the main issues that they face when coming to the United States? What is the situation in detention centers? These are just some of the questions that arise regarding the issue of immigration. This event seeks to bring a better understanding of the struggles that immigrants may encounter and how they are a vulnerable population when facing disasters and other emergencies.<o:p></o:p></p><p><strong><u>LOGISTICS</u></strong><o:p></o:p></p><p><strong>Date: </strong>Wednesday, March 12, 2014<o:p></o:p></p><p><strong>Location:</strong> American Red Cross, 444 Sherman Street, Denver, CO 80203<o:p></o:p></p><p><strong>Room: </strong>Auditorium<o:p></o:p></p><p><strong>Time:</strong> 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm (Mountain Time Zone)<o:p></o:p></p><p><strong>RSVP:</strong> Reply by 12:00 pm on Friday, March 7, 2014 to Tim Bothe at <a href="mailto:Tim.Bothe2@redcross.org">Tim.Bothe2@redcross.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p>For those unable to physically attend, a WebEx and teleconference has been set up.
