The New Freedom Ride:
Towards Comprehensive Rights in the US
by Mohamed Ibrahim
This article introduces
the IWFR event to Arabic-speaking immigrant
communities in the United States through
the website of Philadelphia’s Sudanese
community in. It describes the strong outcomes
of this mass mobilization of immigrant communities
(documented and undocumented), and how coalition-building
played a major role in this success. The
article encourage other immigrant communities
all over the world (especially in the Third
World countries) to draw lessons from this
historic event to help them in strategizing
for their work. A complete English translation
will be posted soon. Click

Mohamed Ibrahim is
the national base-building coordinator for
AFSC’s Project Voice.
