You're Invited: South Asian Immigration Roundtable

The times, they are a-changin'. With Minnesota's impending Silver Tsunami and the influx of immigrants and refugees who have come to make this place home, our demographics are in the midst of some serious change. If you've got ideas for how we can make sure to leverage all Minnesotans' current and future potential to contribute to once again making this place the "State that works," you're invited to participate in the South Asian Immigration Roundtable being facilitated by the Advocates for Human Rights!
