Immigration 101

December 4 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm EST

Host Organization: Long Island Alliance
Partner Org(s): Crossing Party Lines Long Island
State/Region: NY
Setting: In-person

Before we can find common ground on immigration, we first need to speak the same language. Too often, the national debate on immigration gets tangled in emotion and misinformation. What does it actually mean to be an asylum seeker? Is overstaying a visa a crime? What’s the difference between Temporary Protected Status and Humanitarian Parole? How many Green Cards does the U.S. issue each year — and through which categories?

Join us for “Immigration 101” — a lively, good-humored evening of myth-busting and meaning-making. We’ll start with a fun, interactive Q&A to test what we really know about immigration law and policy — from refugees to green card holders to birthright citizenship. Then, we’ll move into a moderated discussion, exploring how these definitions shape our personal values, political beliefs, and hopes for America’s future.

Whether you lean Red, Blue, or somewhere in between, this event invites curiosity before judgment — and understanding before persuasion.

Come ready to learn, listen, and connect across differences — one definition at a time.
