The League of Women Voters of Central Kane County, in partnership with the League of Women Voters Aurora Area and the League of Women Voters of Elgin Area, invite residents of Kane County and the surrounding communities to a timely and informative presentation on U.S. immigration policy and the issues arising from an imperfect and overtaxed system. The program will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 19, both in person in the meeting room at the Geneva Public Library and live streamed on BATV.
The guest speaker for the program will be Sara Dady. Ms Dady is the principal at Dady Law Group LLC in Rockford and has been practicing family-based immigration law for more than 17 years. She writes and presents frequently on immigration topics and is an advocate for comprehensive immigration reform. Ms Dady will present on the complexities surrounding immigration in the U.S. and how our challenges have been shaped by our history, our system of laws, and our political environment. Ms Dady will present on the current situation and will outline proposals for effectively responding with short-term relief and long-term resolution.
“Our local League of Women Voters organizations are excited to (be)host (to) 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 completely free and open to the public. The Geneva Public Library is at 227 S. Seventh Street in Geneva, Ill. and the program will take place in the meeting room on June 19 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m..
The League of Women Voters will accept voluntary donations at the event for the following specific items: (1) disposable diapers, (2) feminine pads (not tampons), (3) bath tissue, and (4) 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, which takes pressure off our communities by providing much-needed assistance to arriving families.
