DESCRIPTION:Join our conversation as we dive into the multifaceted intersections of 
 immigration and the environment, and how we build a movement that works at 
 those intersections!\n\nWhen: Tuesday, October 20 at 12:30 PM PT (3:30 PM 
 ET) \n\nFacebook live: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/LCVoters 
 \nhttps://www.facebook.com/valueourfamilies\n\nWildfires. Extreme 
 hurricanes. Orange skies and smoke covering both coasts. This year has seen 
 a new peak in the climate crisis, and it’s  impacting communities around 
 the globe. Simultaneously, immigration is top of mind for many people, 
 given renewed xenophobia from COVID-19 and mass family separations both at 
 the border and nationally, after multiple executive orders cut off 
 family-based immigration. Now, families who could have been reunited are 
 forced apart in the midst of a global pandemic, isolated in separate 
 countries or in detention facilities. \n\nWhat does all this mean for the 
 U.S.? The impacts of climate change and environmental degradation are not 
 going away. And intersections with the U.S. immigration system highlight 
 just how much we need reform of both: we need new and comprehensive 
 solutions. We need to learn from the movements before us, mobilize for the 
 election, and keep building toward a more just future.\n\nThis event will 
 be featuring Andrea Chu, Founder of Chicago Asian Americans for 
 Environmental Justice; Reshma Shamasunder, campaign coordinator for Value 
 Our Families; and other speakers TBD. The conversation will be moderated by 
 Juan Escalante of FWD.us.\n\nORGANIZATIONS\n\nLeague of Conservation
