Each webinar features experts and a guided discussion to dig into the issues and the policies shaping them. This information will help equip us to take action in our communities and across the state.

What challenges are immigrants facing right now in California? What policy solutions are being proposed? What can we do to help our communities stay informed and aware of their rights? These questions and more will be answered at our final webinar: “California’s Immigration Protections: Resistance & Resilience.”

Join us on May 28 from 6:00-7:30 PM for a policy-informed conversation with experts:
