Immigrants are valued members of the Ohio family. While some state and federal leaders misrepresent and attack them, millions of Ohioans are embracing immigrants because Ohio is home for all of us.
Ohio Immigrant Alliance is helping to host a community conversation for the public, advocates, and policymakers on Thursday, February 20, 2025 from 12-1:30pm, to share how we can advance a more humanizing immigration narrative in Ohio, during a difficult time for everyone. Hear from Houleye Thiam of the Mauritanian Network for Human Rights; Viles Dorsainvil of the Haitian Community Help & Support Center; Jona Hilario of OPAWL – Building AAPI Feminist Leadership; and Lynn Tramonte of the Ohio Immigrant Alliance about what we know from public opinion research; how immigrants say they want to be seen in the media; and how content creators can help ensure a broader picture comes into focus. The discussion will be moderated by Ohio Voice.
You will leave this webinar with a better understanding about public opinion on immigration, how the current narrative often dehumanizes immigrants, and how it should change — from the perspective of immigrant leaders.
