Please join The Legal Access Network for South Asians, Inc. (LANSA) for
a informative and revealing panel discussion titled "Creating an
Underclass?: The Impact of Immigration and Antiterrorism Laws on Immigrant
Communities." The evening explores the critical intersection of
antiterrorism laws and immigration and the profound effects of recent legal and
climate changes on immigrant communities.

The panel discussion will be followed by a cocktail reception at the
Asia Society, with a separate advance registration fee of $9. The
reception is an exciting opportunity to learn more about critical legal issues
facing the South Asian community and how to become involved through
LANSA, an innovative volunteer organization committed to ensuring the
legal rights of South Asians.

The event will include a screening of “Whose Children Are These?” an
award-winning documentary by Theresa Thanjan that gives an in-depth and
gripping view into the post 9-11 world of three young Muslims impacted
by the federal policy of Special Registration. A discussion will follow
with panelists who are at the forefront of the immigration debate.

Panelists include:
Cyrus Mehta, Cyrus D. Mehta & Associates, PLLC
Megan L. Brackney of Kostelanetz & Fink, LLP, a former Assistant United
States Attorney, Civil Immigration Bureau
Mallika Dutt, Breakthrough (Moderator)

Cost of panel discussion: $5 students w/ID; $7 for Asia Society
