Webinar - Advancing Equity: A Racial Equity Journey
2019-11-12 15:00 | NH, United States
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.

Join 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.

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.
This 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.
Contact Aron DiBacco at adibacco@granitestateorganizing.org or 603-668-8250 to for information about this program.

2020-01-15 13:00 - 14:15 | NH, United States
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.

——-

On 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.
If implemented, this rule would:

Increase citizenship application fees by 83 percent, increasing the N-400 fee from $640 to $1,170;
Create a $50 fee for filing certain asylum applications and make asylum seekers pay $490 for a work permit;
Increase the cost of DACA renewals from $495 to $765;
Eliminate fee waivers for citizenship, lawful permanent residency, employment authorization, and other applications;
Transfer $112 million in applications fees from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for enforcement purposes, including denaturalization.

Since 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.
ICYMI: 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.
Join 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).
Speakers include:

Diego Iniguez Lopez, Policy and Campaigns Manager, NPNA
Iván Parra, Director of Services, Florida Immigrant Coalition (FLIC)
George Escobar, Chief of Programs and Services, CASA
Erin Lynum, Associate, Practice and Professionalism Center, AILA
