This past September, the Trump Administration announced the termination of the
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, with all benefits to be revoked by March 2018. DACA provided nearly 800,000 immigrants with the opportunity to live, work, and thrive in their communities without fear of deportation. DACA's cancellation will deeply disrupt the lives of the DACAmented immigrants and their families and reaches into many diverse communities.
Black, Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) and LGBTQ immigrants are among the least-visible DACAmented individuals, and often lack both access to services and community support.
Join us for this webinar on
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28 at 1P/12C
, hosted by
GCIR, to learn from organizations working closely with the Black Diaspora, AAPI and LGBTQ immigrant communities as well as from philanthropic leaders with national, state, and local funding strategies and insights for supporting DACAmented immigrants and their families. Participants will:
- Hear an update on DACA within the context of the larger political climate and immigration context, with a particular focus on the Black Diaspora, AAPI and LGBTQ community;
- Understand immediate and long term needs, challenges, and opportunities related to diverse DACAmented individuals and their families; and
- Learn about key funding strategies at the local, state, and national level to reach and support Black Diaspora, AAPI and LGBTQ DACAmented individuals
We are proud to support this important conversation alongside our co-sponsors:
