DESCRIPTION:Understanding and Addressing the Weaponization of Immigration \nto Create 
 Fear and Division in the United States\n\nAugust 4, 2021 @ 11 AM PT (2 PM 
 ET)\n\nRegister:

 officials are struggling to respond to the number of displaced people 
 arriving at the southern U.S. border. The challenges at the border are 
 exacerbating perceptions inside the United States of immigrants and 
 immigration as being a threat, which is fueling resentment, animosity, and 
 polarization. According to the Anti-Defamation League, this perception 
 “has galvanized the anti-immigrant movement and made life substantially 
 more difficult for all immigrants and the communities that welcome 
 them”.\n\nThis session will explore the complex issue of immigration, 
 starting with what is happening at the border and why, how the issue is 
 being weaponized and turned into a wedge issue that is fueling divisions in 
 the country, and what immigrant rights groups are doing to change the 
 narrative and address these divisions while ensuring that immigrant 
 communities in the United States can live in safety and peace.\n\n\nABOUT:
