Families separated at the border, threats of increased deportations and ICE raids, enormous historic backlogs in naturalization applications and all-time-lows in refugee admissions: immigrant and refugee communities continue to be front and center of the national conversation and policy shifts. All of these issues and so many others -- access to education and healthcare, economic development and financial asset building, civic engagement, state and local strategies to strengthen the enfranchisement of newcomers, racial justice efforts and the fight against white nationalism and more -- will be at the forefront of topics at The National Immigrant Integration Conference (NIIC) this October 20-22, 2019 in Detroit, MI.
Discounted Early Bird Registration Rates have been extended to this Friday, July 19. Register TODAY!
With so much moving in the policy landscape and in the lead up to the pivotal Presidential elections in 2020, this year’s NIIC will be a particularly crucial space for cross-sector analysis, strategy conversations, learning, skills building and strengthening connections and collaborations that power our movements all year long.
Preliminary details about the NIIC schedule and program are already available. Stay tuned for updates about our MainStage Plenaries, Track Sessions, Performances and the Detroit Presidential Forum on Economic, Immigrant & Racial Justice that will be taking place concurrent with NIIC. Meanwhile, register TODAY to access our Discounted Early Bird Registration Rates.
The work to protect, enfranchise and honor America’s immigrant and refugee communities is far from over. Join us to dig in deeper, build relationships with colleagues across the country and power forward our vision of a democracy that uplifts all.
