SUMMARY:Online - Finding Home: Portraits and Memories of Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:This event is sponsored by Bookery Manchester\, FieldWork Photos\, and Welcoming Manchester.\n\nFINDING HOME: Portraits and Memories of Immigrants is a newly released book of photographs and stories that celebrates immigrants who resettled in New Hampshire. Since 2012 photographer Becky Field has illustrated cultural diversity through her photographs. Now in addition to photos\, she interviewed 40 immigrant families about life in their country and their journeys to the Granite State. The immigrants’ stories\, in their own words\, show the determination of people to find a new home\, while Becky’s photos show the vitality of cultural diversity that adds to our communities. During this online event\, Becky will talk about her work and will be joined by two immigrants\, from Russia and Ethiopia\, to share about their journey.\nFINDING HOME can be purchased at the Bookery Manchester or online (DifferentRootsNH.com). Becky donates all net profits from book sales to nonprofits that support immigrants and refugees.\n\nThis event is sponsored by Bookery Manchester\, FieldWork Photos\, and Welcoming Manchester. Welcoming Manchester is an organization that strives to bridge the gap between new immigrants and the receiving community – those who have been here long enough to welcome others. We join Welcoming cities all over the country in celebrating the contributions of our immigrant friends during Welcoming Week (Sept 12-20\, 2020).

Register in advance using this link: https://bit.ly/3mYsnhJ \nSee book description below: \nA new book has arrived that describes the journeys of immigrants to find a new home in New Hampshire. \nFINDING HOME: Portraits and Memories of Immigrants celebrates people from other countries who resettled in the Granite State. Since 2012 freelance photographer Becky Field has illustrated the diversity in this state through her photographs. Now in addition to her photos\, she interviewed 40 immigrant families about life in their country and their journeys to find a new home.

SUMMARY:Online - Once Upon an American Dream
DESCRIPTION:The Heurich House Museum and the Bipartisan Policy Center are proud to present “Once Upon an American Dream\,” a three-part panel series exploring the stages of the immigrant experience in America: migration\, arrival\, and integration.\n \nOur third and final panel will take place as a virtual happy hour on Wednesday\, October 14 from 4 – 5:30 p.m. ET. The final event’s discussion will focus on how immigrants of the past and present integrate into our communities. Every immigrant’s journey to become an integral part of a new community is unique\, and we hope to explore these stories in our culminating panel. The discussion will focus on the following questions: What is the “Great American Success Story” and what does it mean to achieve the “American Dream”? How did immigrants integrate in the past and how do they do so today? What are some of the challenges to integration and how can they be overcome? \nThis panel series explores issues core to the Heurich House Museum’s mission. Christian Heurich’s life embodied a rags-to-riches story where an immigrant’s spirit of creative entrepreneurship yielded success and a family legacy. Yet\, the journey to achieve the American Dream comes in many forms and depends on many factors\, from gender and race\, to education and training\, opportunity and luck. Grab your favorite cocktail or “mocktail” and join the Heurich House and the Bipartisan Policy Center as we dive into these questions. \nAfter the event has concluded\, a recording will be available to view on both the Bipartisan Policy Center and the Heurich House Museum’s websites. \nThis virtual event is free\, but suggested donations are appreciated to support both organizations. \nFeatured Panelists: \n– Tyler Anbinder\, Professor of History\, George Washington University \n– Rachel Peric\, Executive Director\, Welcoming America \n– Jeff Alfaro\, Co-Owner & Founder\, JSquared Naturals

In 2013 I moved to Boston where I strengthened my voice\, performed from my ancestral roots and deepened my commitment to Black liberation\, systemic justice and generational healing. In 2018 gentrification encouraged my husband and I to move back to New Hampshire. I am excited to bring my intersecting experiences and perspectives as an African\, a woman and an immigrant to my work as AFSC-NH’s new Program Coordinator. \nModerated by: \nMaggie Fogarty\, AFSC-NH Program Director \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Online - Peace & Justice Conversations: The Nightmare of US Immigration Policy and Strategies for Resistance and Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:In this NH Peace Action Conversation Series broadcast we are joined by two passionate advocates for immigrant justice in New Hampshire\, Maggie Fogarty and Grace Kindeke\, who will talk about the oppressive tactics of ICE and CBP in the Granite State and the organizing work of the AFSC and others who stand in solidarity with immigrants. \nWe will look at some of the most shocking abuses of ICE including the involuntary sterilization of women\, inadequate protections against COVID-19 for detainees\, the movement to dismantle ICE and CBP and the opportunities for humane immigration policy in the next administration.\nThe U.S. immigration system violates civil and human rights and terrorizes our communities. This violence did not begin with the Trump administration but has escalated in recent years\, with increased surveillance\, checkpoints\, separation of families\, profit-driven incarceration\, denial of asylum rights\, and increased danger to immigrants who are detained during the pandemic. Instead of acting as the service agency it was originally designed to be\, federal immigration officials are increasingly involved in the administration’s authoritarian response to racial justice protests and operate with apparent impunity. \nU.S. immigration policies are rooted in many decades of U.S. foreign\, military\, and economic policies that deny human rights and undermine security abroad. These policies have become a driving factor of forced migration; creating the circumstances that displace people from their homes while also then punishing them for seeking refuge in the U.S. \nHow are immigrants and allies responding to these realities? What are the demands of the immigrant rights movement for humane immigration policy? \nMaggie Fogarty – Maggie is the Director of the NH Program for the American Friends Service Committee. Her work includes organizing\, coalition-building and advocacy for immigrant rights\, affordable housing\, tenant and worker rights and ending homelessness. She coordinates NH Voices of Faith and the NH Immigrant Rights Network and is co-director of the NH Immigrant Visitation Program at the Strafford County jail. Maggie was a founding member of Housing Action NH and served for many years on the boards of the Concord Coalition to End Homelessness and New American Africans. She has worked for AFSC-NH since 2007. She lives with her family in Dover\, NH. \nGrace Kindeke – Grace is an artist\, a dancer\, and an activist earning a B.A. in Africana Studies and Sociology at UMASS Boston. Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo\, she immigrated to the U.S. as a toddler and grew up in Manchester\, NH. In 2013\, Grace moved to Boston where she strengthened her voice\, performed from her ancestral roots\, and deepened her commitment to Black liberation\, systemic justice\, and generational healing. In 2018 gentrification encouraged her and her husband to move back to New Hampshire. She brings her intersecting experiences and perspectives as an African\, a woman\, and an immigrant to her work as AFSC-NH’s new Program Coordinator.
