Immigrant and Refugee Communities and the Impacts on Sanctuary Cities

Join TheaterWorks Hartford and Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants (CIRI) for a conversation about sanctuary cities and the challenges and the opportunities these ‘safe’ cities present. (Hartford is a Sanctuary City.) 

Moderated by Susan Schnitzer, President and CEO of CIRI, we’ll discuss the limitations and challenges that face those seeking safety as they work to obtain asylum, work authorization, family reunification and citizenship in the U.S. Susan will be joined by State of CT Refugee Coordinator Elizabeth Nalley, CIRI Senior DOJ Legal Caseworkers, Carmen Goiricelaya and Lizzeth Vibaldo, IRIS Community Engagement and a DREAMer Tabitha Sookdeo and IRIS Hartford Office Director, Tanya Kimball.
