Topic:  Immigration 101 – How it affects our Community

Guest Speaker:  Mindy Rush Chipman, Rural Capacity Building Attorney,

Justice For Our Neighbors–Nebraska – As Rural Managing Attorney, Mindy works to promote inclusion state-wide by offering immigration education and advocacy, as well as low-income immigration legal services.  Previously, Mindy worked as an attorney at Legal Aid of Nebraska, where she helped develop the Nebraska Immigration Legal Assistance Hotline (NILAH), and earlier had her own general law practice primarily practicing in rural communities.

Note:  this issue is presently being argued in the Supreme Court.  The President’s Executive order (DACA, DAPA) is being challenged by several states.

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday August 26th at the UNO Community Engagement Center, room 230/231 – Nos vemos esa noche para aprender sobre La Immigracion, las leyes y como esta el systema, hoy en dia.  Come and share an interesting evening in the company of friends.  Latinas Unidas!
