Join the First Friday Forum on June 4 at 10 am to hear Irene Bloemraad, UC Professor of Sociology and founding Director of the Berkeley Interdisciplinary Immigration Initiative, speak on “US Immigration Reform: Possible or Pipedream?” Click here to register for this webinar. Feel free to forward this email to friends who would be interested in this program.
Dr. Bloemraad says, “US immigration policy is a kaleidoscope of many parts, from border control to refugee resettlement, temporary visas to naturalization. I’ll talk about the broad framework of US immigration law and some of the fine points of recent controversy.”
Working on immigration issues is a priority of the new administration so it is of importance to learn more about the issues, their problems, and consequences of actions taken. Caroline Giers, First Friday Forum committee member says, “We are fortunate to have a speaker who has studied the various aspects of immigration so extensively. I’m sure we will be helped in gaining a better understanding of the complexity of the issues surrounding the topic of immigration. Be sure to register.”
We hope you were able to see the May presentation “Climate Change: Causes, Consequences, and Solutions" by David Seaborg. He gave an accessible explanation of the science behind climate change and description of the impacts. A video recording is available at lopc.org/first-friday-forum archived under 2021.
First Friday Forum is sponsored by the Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church. If you have questions, send an email to fff@lopc.org.
