Monterey hosts a "deferred action" talk

I heard some Monterey teachers wonder why a presentation about this topic wasn't given in their back yard.

Well, now it is. 

The Global Majority Student Club at the Monterey Institute of International Studies and Amnesty International will co- host a presentation on the new Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, facilitated by immigration attorney Blanca Zarazua.

The new policy, commonly referred to as "deferred action," allows immigrants brought to this country illegally as children to obtain a work permit as long as they meet certain requirements. This presentation is designed to provide information about the policy and the application process, as well as immigration in Monterey County in general.

 This event is free and open to the public.  It will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. in Room B109 of the Morse building at 426 Van Buren Street in Monterey. For more information, click here.
