Jesuit Refugee Service/USA 130d ago

Ann Morse, Tobin Williamson, and Isaac Cuevas engage in a conversation on how state and local laws, policies, and practices shape the daily lives and well-being of immigrants and their families. While federal immigration policy often dominates national debate, decisions made at the state and local level play a critical role in determining access to services, safety, and community support. Moderated by Donald Kerwin, Vice President of Advocacy, Research, and Partnerships at Jesuit Refugee Service/USA, the session explores legislative trends, examine select pending bills, and highlight how faith communities and community-based organizations respond to—and help address—the impacts of federal immigration policy at the local level. 🔗 Learn more & access additional resources: https://www.jrsusa.org/event/ignatian-migration-dialogue-state-local-immigration-policy/
