We are proud to invite you and your communities to the 2012 Labor Seder, on March 25th, which will bring together over 350 local Jews, activists, and allies to share the Passover freedom story and learn and take action on issues facing local immigrant communities here in DC. This yearly event is a wonderful celebration of the holiday's message of justice and liberation, and weaves together our people's history with a local justice issue each year. This year's theme of "Immigrant Roots, Immigrant Rights" resonates deeply with me as I think of my immigrant grandparents' struggle to support my mother and her siblings, and to make it possible for me and my family to access opportunity and to thrive in America.
