Series: Second Hour @ The Meeting House- First Congregational Church

One in ten people in Berkshire County is an immigrant -- but what does immigration mean for our county and our country, and how can we understand this in the context of national policies as well as global migration and refugee crises? This workshop by No Lost Generation, a student-led refugee and immigrant advocacy group at Williams College, will offer an overview of immigration issues, examine the myths surrounding immigration rhetoric, and suggest ways to most effectively advocate for newcomers.
