One of our nation’s best coalition builders, Ali Noorani, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum speaks exclusively to CCSS members about the moving stories of American immigrants and their journeys. Mr. Noorani presents the complexities of migration through families fleeing violence and poverty. Ali has spent years building bridges between immigrants and their often conservative communities. This keynote introduces CCSS members to modern-day migrants and the people that help them on both sides of the border. Going beyond partisan debate, Noorani offers insight as to why families make the decision to leave home and offers workable and real solutions to our nation’s immigration crisis.  No matter where you sit on the political spectrum, you will have a more humane and nuanced understanding of our country’s immigration issues after this session.
