About the event
The gathering opens with a welcome and clear purpose, setting shared goals and ground rules to ensure a constructive space. Participants are then introduced to the foundations of civic engagement—why participation matters, how to get involved locally, and the vital role of interfaith networks in collective action. The program continues with an overview of immigration and ICE, featuring legal perspectives, community updates, and practical information on rights, resources, and rapid response efforts.
A diverse panel discussion follows, offering insights from religious leaders, advocates, officials, and experts, before opening the floor to moderated community questions. The session concludes with concrete action steps, highlighting ways to stay engaged and support immigrant communities, and closes by summarizing key takeaways and outlining next steps forward.
