We can’t begin to heal our broken immigration system until we take an honest look at the political decisions and policies that brought us to this point. Mr. Blitzer will share what he has learned after more than a decade of reporting on immigration as well as powerful stories about immigrants whose lives have been deeply affected.
His talk will be followed by a conversation with Bob Fishman, Founding Executive Director of CIRC (CT Immigrant and Refugee Coalition) and Maggie Mitchell Salem, Executive Director of IRIS (Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Service).
