Speaker to discuss effort to stop deportations

Global Exchange Ventura County Supporters present Immigration: Another Side of the Story from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Wed., Feb. 27 at the Grant Brimhall/ Thousand Oaks Library, 1401 E. Janss Road.

Alice Linsmeier will discuss the interfaith New Sanctuary Movement and local efforts to stop unjust deportations that separate immigrant parents from their children.

Filmmaker John Carlos Frey will show his short film "The Invisible Chapel" and offer insight into immigrant issues.

Born in Tijuana, Mexico, Frey grew up in San Diego, close to the border. The Border Patrol arrested and deported his mother when Frey was a teenager.

The program is free and open to the public. For information, call (805) 498-9401 or e-mail GlobalExchangeVCS@yahoo.com.
