Over the past two years, the U.S. government has admitted hundreds of thousands of people seeking protection. Republican governors of Texas, Arizona and Florida have transported many of these people to Democratic cities, primarily Washington D.C., New York and Chicago. The arrival of these immigrants, who join the more than 11 million undocumented people living in the U.S., has highlighted the serious failures of social policies intended to promote the well-being of all people comprising U.S. society today.

Join us for Part II of Contextualizing the Migrant Crisis Narrative. In this conversation we will provide the latest updates on actions taken by the City of Chicago, and key civil society actors, to welcome and support new arrivals, and discuss Chicago’s future response to the arrival of more newcomers in 2024 and beyond.
