Hard Facts and Human Faces: Navigating U.S. Immigration in Our Communities
2024-06-19 19:00 - 20:30 | Geneva Public Library, 227 S. Seventh Street, Geneva, IL, 60134, United States
The League of Women Voters of Elgin Area, in partnership with the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County and the League of Women Voters Aurora Area, invite residents of Kane County and the surrounding communities to a timely and informative presentation about U.S. immigration policy and the issues arising from an imperfect and overtaxed system. The program will be held at 7 pm on June 19th in person in the meeting room at the Geneva Public Library and live streamed on BATV.
The guest speaker for the program is Sara Dady. Ms. Dady is the principal at Dady Law Group LLC in Rockford and has been practicing family-based immigration law for over 17 years. She writes and presents frequently on immigration topics and advocates for comprehensive immigration reform. Ms. Dady will present on the complexities surrounding immigration in the U.S. – how our history has shaped our challenges, our system of laws, and our political environment. Ms. Dady will discuss the current situation and outline proposals for effectively responding with short-term relief and long-term resolution.
“Our local League of Women Voters organizations are excited to host this important presentation,” said Patti Lackman, Co-Vice President of the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County. “If we are going to solve the immigration crisis in our country and in our local communities, we need to put politics aside and do the work of learning about the issue – including how we got ourselves into this mess, and how we can work together to reform our immigration system while remaining true to our American ideals.”
The program is free and open to the public. The Geneva Public Library is located at 227 S. Seventh Street in Geneva, Illinois. It will take place in the meeting room on June 19th from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.
The League of Women Voters will be accepting voluntary donations at the event for the following specific items:

✅disposable diapers,
✅feminine pads (not tampons),
✅bath tissue, and
✅facial tissue.

Donations for these items are welcome and entirely voluntary. Following the event, the League will pass along donated items to organizations, such as World Relief, who take pressure off our local communities by providing much-needed assistance to arriving families.
