Immigration Webinar
March 2, 2026 7:00pm
Curious about pathways to immigration, changing immigration policies and how we can support our neighbors with love and humanity?
Join us for an Immigration 101 Webinar hosted by Providence Church, West Chester.
We will hear from Jeanne Atkinson, Esq from The National Immigration Forum. The Forum is a nonpartisan nonprofit that builds trusted relationships across the political spectrum to convene different perspectives, bring new allies into the immigration conversation, and advance constructive and compassionate policies. Immigration pathways will be presented along with the protections and processes around each and we will have plenty of time for questions after the presentation. Through this time, we hope to learn the truth about immigration policies from a seasoned immigration attorney and how we might engage in helpful ways in our community.
