  • Connection, not division!

    It’s gratifying to find a platform that amplifies the importance of seeking and

    finding common ground, rather than focusing on why “the other” should be demonized, ignored… or worse.

Q: What do you want delegates and listeners to take away from the Citizens Commission on Immigration and this convention?
