Social Innovation ForumThe need to support immigrant communities cannot be overstated. However, it can be challenging to know where to start or how to get more involved. Please join us to learn more about immigrant experiences in the current political climate, and what actions you can take to show up for immigrants here in Eastern Massachusetts.
Join other funders and supporters to learn how SIF has supported and continues to support nonprofits that serve immigrant communities. Two local immigrant-serving nonprofit leaders will share about the challenges they’re facing as well as what actions you can take to support their communities. You’ll have time to ask questions, and then we’ll close with calls to action.
Meet other supporters who are also eager to learn more about how to show up for Massachusetts’ immigrant communities. Let’s get organized as we stand together to protect our friends, neighbors, and community members.
