From Enforcement to Employment: Explore how immigration policies impact Florida in 2026.

FFDI Education Series

Listen, Learn, and Join the Conversation on Key Issues

Strong democratic institutions depend on an informed and engaged public, leading to action and advocacy. FFDI's Education Series is proud to bring a series of programs in partnership with the League of Women Voters of Sanibel.

Join us on Wednesday, January 28, at 7pm ET for an update on key legislative proposals from the current Florida Legislature presented by politcal consultant, Bob Schaeffer, followed by immigration attorney, Indera DeMine. Indera will share first hand, real life, current aspects of immigration enforcement, employment, and visas. Given the rapid implementation of often secretive and cruel policies, it is important for us all to listen, learn, and discuss, so we may strengthen our shared understanding and civic engagement.
