Welcome.US at the Table: Recent immigration policy changes in context + how to talk about it

Federal policy changes on immigration in recent weeks have created a climate of confusion and concern. As Welcomers, we serve as a bridge to offer clarity and compassion to our newcomer neighbors. But how do we navigate these complex issues with our own friends and family?

Join us on Dec. 18 for a session focused on equipping you to have confident, constructive, and connected conversations.

What you’ll learn:

• Get a clear, broad-strokes overview of recent immigration policies and what they mean for newcomers who have found safety in the U.S. as asylees and refugees.
• Learn how to ground these complicated issues in your lived experience and the human stories behind the headlines.
• Get practical language and tips to foster connected conversations with loved ones about this topic in a way that preserves your relationship and grows mutual understanding.

We’ll be joined by Welcome.US Senior Policy Counsel and Special Advisor, Manpreet Teji, for policy updates and live Q&A.

What is Welcome.US at the Table?

Join us on the third Thursday of every month to participate in a national conversation about our joint work of welcoming. These webinars are designed for sponsors and Welcomers who care about private sponsorship pathways, the newcomers we’ve welcomed, and the stories of welcome that unite us.

For us, meeting at the table means nourishment, encouragement, community building, and idea sharing. That's the spirit we strive to foster.
