SUMMARY:Webinar - NPNA Family Protection Network: The Field Response to the Proposed Fee Increases
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear how the NPNA Family Protection Network and organizations that offer legal services are responding to the proposed threat of the Trump administration increasing application fees. The change would effectively price out millions from citizenship\, lawful permanent residency\, DACA\, asylum\, and other forms of immigration relief and benefits. Hear how organizations are utilizing the current moment to encourage citizenship and other applications in their community.  \nRegister Here\n\n——-\n\n\nOn November 14th\, 2019\, the Trump administration published its proposed fee schedule regulation that targets low-income and working class immigrants by effectively pricing them out of citizenship\, asylum\, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)\, work permits\, and other forms of immigration status and benefits. \nIf implemented\, this rule would: \n\nIncrease citizenship application fees by 83 percent\, increasing the N-400 fee from $640 to $1\,170;\nCreate a $50 fee for filing certain asylum applications and make asylum seekers pay $490 for a work permit;\nIncrease the cost of DACA renewals from $495 to $765;\nEliminate fee waivers for citizenship\, lawful permanent residency\, employment authorization\, and other applications;\nTransfer $112 million in applications fees from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for enforcement purposes\, including denaturalization.\n\nSince the fee rule announcement\, we responded in opposition swiftly and collectively submitted nearly 30\,000 comments! The vast majority of comments received were in opposition of the proposed fee rule. \nICYMI: Over the holiday break\, NPNA submitted this Final Comment together with our NPNA member organizations\, and organized the Mayoral Sign-On Letter Opposing the Proposed Rule led by Mayor Bill de Blasio\, New York City\, Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago\, and Mayor Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles together with 48 Mayors and County Executives. \nJoin our upcoming webinar to hear how the NPNA Family Protection Network and its members including the Florida Immigrant Coalition (FLIC)\, CASA and OneAmerica are responding to the proposed threat of the Trump administration increasing application fees\, along with national allies including the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). \nSpeakers include: \n\nDiego Iniguez Lopez\, Policy and Campaigns Manager\, NPNA\nIván Parra\, Director of Services\, Florida Immigrant Coalition (FLIC)\nGeorge Escobar\, Chief of Programs and Services\, CASA\nErin Lynum\, Associate\, Practice and Professionalism Center\, AILA\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Manchester - Active Bystander Training
DESCRIPTION:In a time when people are quicker to express anger and more likely to be angry at people “not like them”\, many of us are seeking tools to respond effectively to such biased anger. \nThis training will give you tools and insights to use in such situations and a chance to think about how you might use them. In this highly interactive session we present information\, share experiences\, and strategize bystander responses to a variety of situations. Participants will learn about roles we all play\, what discourages us from acting when we see harm doing\, how to move through this resistance\, tools to use when we are ready\, and basic principles to guide our actions. \nContact Aron DiBacco at adibacco@granitestateorganizing.org or 603-668-8250 to for information about this program. \nGSOP is the largest grassroots community organization in New Hampshire. We are comprised of religious congregations\, community groups\, labor organizations and individuals in New Hampshire united in our concern for economic and social justice.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Advancing Equity: A Racial Equity Journey
DESCRIPTION:Discrimination based on race and ethnicity can negatively affect health across lifetimes and generations. Racial inequities are not random. They have been created and sustained over time by unfair and discriminatory policies and practices at many levels. Inequities will not disappear on their own\, but communities have the power to disrupt them.\n\nJoin us on November 12\, 2019 as we team up with the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) to share how the Spokane Regional Health District began their journey toward disrupting racial inequities in Spokane\, WA. We’ll explore how the Health District got started\, some lessons learned along the way\, and what they hope to achieve. We’ll also share the framework they’re using to build their internal capacity and discuss how you can use it to embed racial equity considerations in your community’s practices.GARE is a national network of government jurisdictions working to achieve racial equity and advance opportunities for all. It is a joint project of the new Race Forward and the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society. \n\n\n\n\n\nNov 12\, 2019 2 PM Central Time (3 PM Eastern) \n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Concord - Home Now: How 6000 Refugees Transformed an American Town
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 1st\, 2019\, 6 p.m. at Gibson’s Bookstore\, 45 South Main Street\, Concord\, NH. \nFree and open to the public. \nCynthia Anderson shares a moving chronicle of struggle\, transformation\, and who belongs in America. Her new book Home Now: How 6000 Refugees Transformed an American Town\, tells the impactful story of Lewiston\, Maine. \nThe once-thriving city of Lewiston had fallen on hard times–mills closed\, jobs gone. It was mostly white\, and the young were leaving. Then thousands of African Muslim immigrants came to town. \nOver the past 15 years\, Lewiston\, Maine has improbably become one of the most Muslim towns in America. About 6\,000 of the city’s 36\,000 inhabitants are African refugees and asylum seekers\, many of them Somali. Cynthia Anderson tells the story of this fractious yet resilient mill town near where she grew up\, offering the unfolding drama of a community’s reinvention–and humanizing some of the defining political issues in America today. \nIn Lewiston\, progress is real but precarious. With empathy and honesty Anderson takes the reader deep into the lives of both immigrants and lifelong Mainers: a single Muslim mom\, an anti-Islamist activist\, a Congolese asylum seeker\, a Somali community leader. Their lives unfold in these pages as anti-immigrant sentiment rises across the US and national realities collide with those in Lewiston. Home Now gives a poignant account of America’s evolving relationship with religion and race\, and provides a sensitive refutation of the idea that we’d be better off without change. \nView flyer: Home Now at Gibson’s Bookstore
