Please join us to welcome Amer Sajed, who will be discussing immigration and voting rights.
Amer Sajed, a 56-year-old Pakistan-born immigrant who moved to the U.S. to attend college, stepped down from his role Barclay International in July 2017 to begin working with the American Civil Liberties Union and other grassroots community organizations after being spurred into action by the acrimonious political climate under President Donald Trump, according to two people familiar with his thinking.
