SUMMARY:Prerna Lal launching Unsung America: Immigrant Trailblazers and Our Fight for Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Prerna Lal launching Unsung America: Immigrant Trailblazers and Our Fight for Freedom. Please join us for a most timely discussion. \n\n\n\n\n“Deeply insightful and intentionally detailed–Prerna Lal has conceived a text that breaks down the inner workings of the United States immigration system and the impact it has had on the lives of countless immigrants and families. Lal lays out a timeline both old and new\, that vividly chronicles the birth and impact of certain policies\, views\, and opinions within the realm of immigration policy.”–Juan Escalante \nTo reserve your seat please purchase a copy of Unsung America by speaking to a bookseller or clicking on the cover below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFar too often\, immigrants are demonized and scapegoated\, when they should be celebrated as heroes and revolutionaries. This book strings together both triumphant and painful stories of immigrants who blazed trails and broke barriers in their fight for American citizenship and fundamental human rights. \nThese are ordinary people who have used their own stories on the fight for citizenship to illustrate their triumphs and trials as immigrants in a new land. Each uses a different strategy and tactics; what works for one does not work for another. They all have one thing in common\, however—a desire for racial and social justice. \n  \nPrerna Lal is a naturalized United States citizen\, born and raised in Fiji Islands with roots in the San Francisco Bay Area. Lal is an Indo-Fijian attorney\, based in the Bay Area\, and founder of DreamActivist\, an online advocacy network led by undocumented youth. Through the use of social media\, Lal has been credited for organising an online network to stop the deportations of undocumented youth and they are well known as one of the pivotal figures and leaders of the DREAM Act movement. A clinical law professor\, Lal is a frequent writer on immigration\, racial justice\, sexual orientation\, and how these forces intersect.
