Hi Friends - One week from now, I hope many of you come out to lend your moral and emotional support of the public event I'm working with the Muslim Community in Chicago to help organize. It would mean a lot to me to see you there. In addition, SAPAC might be able to make more connections with South Asians and neighborhood folk -- plus Building Bridges Coalition members will be attending, e.g. Syed Quadri, Rajaullah Quraishi, etc. As an example of Vijay Prasad's brilliance on the model minority myth, Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria, running for the Republican Senate ticket, will also be asked to respond to questions on the Patriot Act and higher education for immigrant high school youth? Let me know if you can make it! - Sadaf
