From the Streets to the Statehouse: Immigration Advocacy

Students are invited to engage in a conversation with a representative from MIRA (Massachusetts Immigrant & Refugee Advocacy Coalition) to discuss current legislative priorities that aim to serve and protect our local immigrant communities. This is in specific reference to MIRA's "Protect Our Immigrant Communities" campaign and Safe Communities Act. By inviting a community organizer, we aim to highlight the connection between advocacy that starts within our communities and change within higher places of power. Above all else, we hope to instill a sense of hope and optimism within attendees as we all consider what it means to become changemakers.
