Overview
Join us for the first session in our From the Field webinar series, where quarterly, we bring partner voices directly to our supporters. This session focuses on the Dominican Republic, where recent changes to immigration and citizenship laws are having a profound impact on communities of Haitian descent.
These laws are not only reshaping the legal landscape, but are also contributing to increasing precarity, displacement, and human rights challenges for already marginalized populations.
This event offers a hybrid format—participate in person or tune in via Zoom from wherever you are.
What to Expect
