In 2006, the rights of foreign-born Tennesseans will be in more danger than ever before. Anti-immigrant/refugee sentiment in our state has never been higher.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO TURN THE TIDE, AND TO KEEP TENNESSEE MOVING FORWARD!

TIRRC's convention is the only opportunity you will have all year to come together with immigrants, refugees and their supporters from across the state to identify the most pressing issues affecting Tennessee's foreign-born population, and to develop comprehensive strategies to address these issues. During the day we will also be developing a statewide plan to counter the alarming rise of anti-immigrant/refugee sentiment within our state. Why Should I Attend TIRRC's Annual Convention?

If you value Tennessee's growing diversity, then please become a TIRRC member, and REGISTER for the annual membership convention TODAY!

Membership dues include registration, attendance at all sessions and breakouts, all materials and lunch. Children under 12 attend the Convention and Cultural Celebration free. Childcare will be provided.
