Thank you for joining us!

No matter where we come from or how long we’ve called Wisconsin home, we all believe in caring for our families & leaving things better for those to come.​ Yet, some legislators are making life harder for our immigrant neighbors. Fueled by fear, these decision makers uphold damaging, inaccurate narratives in hopes they can divide and distract us as they hoard power and wealth.

We’re not taking the bait.

Join us to hear more about the vibrant immigrant and refugee communities in Wisconsin—including their many strengths—and how you can better incorporate immigrant needs and priorities into your community, work, and advocacy.

Panelists

Panel discussion with:

Lor Xiong, Oshkosh Area School District

Esther Ama S. Ptak, African Center for Community Development

Fabiola Hamdan, Dane County Department of Human Services
