Tablas de recursos a las 5 p. m.
Film screening @ 6PM
Panel conversation @ 7PM

Go beyond the headlines about U.S. immigrants and immigration policies and meet people who have come in search of greater opportunities for themselves and their families. How do new arrivals navigate the tension between who they are and what others ask them to become? What is lost — and what is gained — in a new country?  

In partnership with Dodge Poetry, the program will open with poetry.

Entonces La paradoja de la inmigración, a documentary featuring revealing interviews from across the divide, will be screened. A panel conversation with immigration activists will follow. 

Nuestro panel estará moderado por Ingrid Echeverria, Attorney and former Chair of the Asylum Committee for the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
