This Courageous Conversation aims to explore current immigrant experiences, discussing barriers, struggles, joys, and successes. We will expand our conversation to discuss the urgent situation faced by many immigrants when they arrive here, the lengthy struggles faced by immigrants after arrival, and what each of us can do to stand up against hate and support our neighbors.

Moderator: Cantor Vera Broekhuysen, Temple Emanu-El of Haverhill

Community Participants: Marius, a Togolese asylum seeker; Aldonsa Pereyra; Catherine Ramirez Mejia, MIRA Coalition; Jane Hucks, co-chair of Merrimack Valley Project’s Immigrant Justice Committee
