John, 

With climate change, the global rise in xenophobia and nationalism, increasing economic disenfranchisement, and rampant disinformation that amplifies othering, America’s immigration system is crashing towards catastrophe. 

Join us on Monday, May 8 at 6:30pm for a virtual conversation on open arms, closed borders, and the future of America’s immigration myth. Moderated by WNYC’s Arun Venugopal, you will hear from panelists including Paola Mendoza, Dr. Tom Wong, and our own Executive Director Murad Awawdeh!

The debate about who belongs in America mirrors our national polarization and cuts through social and political spaces. This discussion will focus on America’s long-standing identity of protecting and advancing immigrant human rights, the useful myth of this identity, and whether a new isolationism is destined to replace it!

See you there!
