Immigrant rights events this week

What's happening to immigrants? 
 
The Orange County BORDC is hosting a discussion with Rebecca Headen, the ACLU-NC Racial Justice Project Coordinator, Thursday at 7pm at the Chapel Hill Public Library (100 Library Dr., off of Estes Drive, west of the intersection with East Franklin Street). 
 
The Durham BORDC is meeting again to discuss strategy to protect the rights of immigrants, this Saturday at 3pm at El Centro Hispano (201 West Main Street). 
 
A letter is being circulated, declaring that the signers will not vote for any politician running on an anti-immigrant platform, specifically Democratic candidates Bev Perdue and Kay Hagan, but I will post about that later in the week. 
 
On a different issue, Stop Torture Now is meeting for the month in Raleigh September 7th and the next anti-torture vigil will be on the 13th near the Aero hangar, at the same time as an open house of some kind at the Johnston County Airport.
