Forum for Inclusive Immigration Reform

Conversations with Leading Experts and Practitioners

Friday, October 12, 2018 | 1 PM - 5:30 PM | FIU-MMC | Ruth K. and Shepard B. Auditorium (SIPA 125)

 

Immigration is one of the most pressing and compelling topics in U.S. foreign and domestic policy today. From issues surrounding who is allowed entry into the U.S. to the status of undocumented immigrants and their families, many people are wondering if immigration reform is possible, what it could mean and how it could benefit citizens and non-citizens.

Join us for a half-day conference bringing together leading scholars and practitioners from FIU and throughout the community, to explore the current landscape of immigration and immigration reform, particularly as it relates to South Florida. The event will feature panel discussions on topics such as the local realities of immigration in the community, the criminalization of immigration and immigrant status.

Keynote Speaker: Anne C. Richard, Former Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration

Some 1.4 million people in Florida are permanently excluded from the right to vote because of a prior felony conviction. This November, Floridians have the chance to make history by voting “Yes” on Florida’s Amendment 4 to restore voting eligibility to people who fully complete their entire sentences, excluding people who have committed murder or a felony sexual offense. If it passes, the Amendment would re-enfranchise the most Americans since the Women’s Suffrage Movement.

Generously co-sponsored by:
Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County
The Green Family Foundation
