Community Forum on Immigration

May 21 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free

Policy, Protection, and Local Impact

Know your rights – Understand current laws – Connect with local resources.

Featuring a panel of experts:

  • Rep. Dan Sena, Massachusetts House of Representatives
  • Eloa Celedon, Immigration Attorney, Celedon Law
  • Sarang Sekhavat, Chief of Staff, Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA)  

Register for the Community Forum on Immigration.

The discussion will address key issues —including deportation fears, access to legal protections like DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and TPS (Temporary Protected Status), the vital role immigrants play in the economy and how Massachusetts policies offer local support. We will also discuss current Bills filed in the Massachusetts State Legislature, including the Safe Communities Act and the Immigrant Legal Defense Act—bills aimed at strengthening due process protections and limiting entanglement between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. Q&A session will follow.

All are welcome! Come learn, share, and be part of the conversation.
