WHAT: The Immigrant Experience: Today’s Realities
WHERE: Coral Gables Congregational Church, 3010 De Soto Blvd, Coral Gables
WHEN: Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2016, 7-8:30pm
WHY: The Immigrant Experience: Today’s Realities will bring community leaders together for a frank discussion regarding current challenges immigrants face amid rising anti-immigrant sentiment. AI Justice seeks to dispel pervasive myths regarding immigration and encourage others to help combat growing xenophobia and racism. « Regardless of who our next President is, one thing is clear: anti-immigrant sentiment is far more prevalent in this country than many of us thought and the need for sensible immigration reform more important than ever, » said Little. In many ways, South Florida, with its growing immigrant population, reflects what America will more closely resemble in the years ahead.
