It was humbling to hear such powerful local stories. That are echoed across the pond from the film. No one is illegal. Thank you to Mary, @FCStPauli416, @MCRSrefugee, @WPIRG and @officialahmedu.

We are not usually very good at tweeting after an event. This one was special. Thank you to @FCStPauli416 for encouraging us to commemorate with a photo and for offering up the film. Really has us inspired as well!
