An evening of myth-busting and meaning-making.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before we can find common ground on immigration, we first need to speak the same language. Too often, the national debate on immigration gets tangled in emotion and misinformation. What does it actually mean to be an asylum seeker? Is overstaying a visa a crime? What\u2019s the difference between Temporary Protected Status and Humanitarian Parole? How many Green Cards does the U.S. issue each year \u2014 and through which categories?<\/p>\n

Join us for \u201cImmigration 101\u201d \u2014 a lively, good-humored evening of myth-busting and meaning-making. We\u2019ll start with a fun, interactive Q&A to test what we really know about immigration law and policy \u2014 from refugees to green card holders to birthright citizenship. Then, we\u2019ll move onto a moderated discussion, exploring how these definitions shape our personal values, political beliefs, and hopes for America\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Whether you lean Red, Blue, or somewhere in between, this event invites curiosity before judgment \u2014 and understanding before persuasion.<\/p>\n

Come ready to learn, listen, and connect across differences \u2014 one definition at a time.<\/p>\n
