Welcome to This Week at LIRS!
We're catching you up on what's new at LIRS—from upcoming events to media appearances, important immigration updates, and more.
This past Tuesday, President and CEO Krish O'Mara Vignarajah joined a panel in conjunction with Round House Theatre called "On Citizenship: Immigration, Art, and the American Dream." The panel continued the conversation started by Round House's virtual production of "American Dreams."
TOMORROW! Join LIRS to explore the intersection between climate displacement and faith with “God, Migration, and the Climate Crisis,” a virtual panel on October 20 at 3 p.m. ET. Panelists include New Yorker columnist Bill McKibben, ethics and climate justice expert Dr. Cynthia Moe-Lobeda, and Pastor Tommy Richter, whose Alaskan congregation experienced climate change firsthand.
Looking for something to do this weekend? ICYMI, we recently wrapped an incredible immigration book series featuring authors from NBC's Jacob Soboroff to the New Yorker's Jia Lynn Yang. All of the events are available to stream, so feel free to dive in or invite a few friends for a book club!
On Tuesday, October 27, our Building Hope for Change series continues with a virtual event in the Twin Cities. Join LIRS and special guest Mayor Regan Gonzalez of Richfield, MN to learn more about what you can do to make a difference in the lives of immigrants and refugees.
