AFSC Colorado has recently been involved in several presentations and interactive workshops on immigration at Regis University in Denver.  Gabriela Flora, AFSC Project Voice Regional Organizer, was on a panel with our newest AFSC Colorado Area Program Committee member, Tania Valenzuela, one of two undocumented Regis students who shared their stories and challenged the university, students and community at large to become more involved.

Here is the link to the article on the panel that was on the front page of Regis’ weekly newspaper:
