Thursday, February 20, 12noon-1:30pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Ohio Immigrant Alliance is helping to host a community conversation for the grassroots, advocates, and policymakers on February 20, 12noon-1:30pm, to share how we can advance a more humanizing immigration narrative in Ohio, during a difficult time for everyone.

Hear from Houleye Thiam of the Mauritanian Network for Human Rights, Viles Dorsainvil of the Haitian Community Help and Support Center, Jona Hilario of OPAWL — Building AAPI Feminist Leadership, and Lynn Tramonte of the Ohio Immigrant Alliance, about what we know from public opinion research, how immigrants say that they want to be seen in the media, and how content creators can help ensure that a broader picture will come into focus. The discussion will be moderated by Ohio Voice.

You will leave this webinar with a better understanding of public opinion on immigration, how the current narrative often dehumanizes immigrants, and how it should change — from the perspective of immigrant leaders. You will also be able to take away key points that you can raise in media interviews and in letters to the editor, social media posts, and conversations with elected officials and around the dinner table.
