Immigration and deportation have been political flashpoints for centuries, but these issues have been defined in very different ways by different groups. In this talk, Marjorie Hershey, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, award-winning scholar and teacher of electoral politics, will explore real facts about immigration to the US in recent decades, the widely differing ways immigration has been portrayed in American political debate, and the consequences of those differing definitions for public policy. Join her to consider some ways to deal with the genuine economic, cultural, and political issues of legal and undocumented immigration while also coping with the emotional tone of the public discussion surrounding it.

Leadership meeting is open to all Indivisibles. We will discuss future plans, organizing with other local groups, and needs of the group for the upcoming month.

Our scheduled presenter (Liz Patton) will be talking about the Attack on Healthcare: Medicare, Marketplace and Medicaid crisis that sits before us.

We will also be discussing the upcoming crisis for so many regarding the SNAP funds that will cease in November, that will affect so many in our area, and what actions we can take to help these local folks.
