Speaking the language of opportunity and possibility
This Coulee Region Immigration Summit will spotlight the ways that people who migrate enrich our community. Franciscan Sister of Perpetual Adoration Eileen McKenzie will lead an immersive learning session that focuses on the power of language that is filled with dignity and hope. A panel will include people in migration, local employers and the Humanitarian Parole program, all bringing their personal perspectives by sharing their stories. Attendees will leave the summit with skills for constructive conversations and inspired to accompany and advocate for people who migrate.
The Immigration Summit is sponsored by the Coulee Region Immigration Task Force, Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration Affiliation Office, Franciscan Spirituality Center, Kino Border Initiative and La Crosse Community Foundation.
