Framke, chair for the Advocacy Committee for Racial Ethnic Concerns (ACREC),

with ACREC committee members for a joint meeting with the Advocacy Committee
for Women’s Concerns (ACWC). Together they explored and learned about the
driving forces behind immigration, and the impact on those who immigrate as well
as on the communities they leave behind. |
