Join the International Institute of New England (IINE) and First Parish Church in Weston for a panel discussion on the current immigration landscape, the impact on families in our communities, and how we can build a more welcoming and inclusive New England. The panel will feature members of IINE’s leadership team who will offer some clarity on complex policy issues, insight into the reality of the immigrant experience beyond the headlines, and some hope and inspiration! All are welcome. Light refreshments will be served.
