Workshop Description
Five 2-hour sessions: Monday 2/3 – Friday 2/7 (3-5pm Eastern / 12-2pm Pacific)
In this workshop participants will have the opportunity to delve deep into immigration issues in the US, and how the American Friends Service Committee works to support immigrant justice. They will learn AFSC’s pillars for just and humane immigration policy, and how and why those pillars were developed. They will develop skills for instigating and advancing narrative change to ensure that immigrants are treated with dignity and respect in local communities and on social media. Another major goal of this workshop is to inspire Quaker meetings to take action in partnership with AFSC to enact social change for migration justice.
