Join the Philadelphia Bar Association as they begin a series of dialogues on topics affecting their clients and the community, the first of which will focus on immigration. Immigrants bring diversity and strength to our community, and help to power our City's economy. With the changes in policy at the federal level, many are struggling with understanding the state of the law, while at the same time federal funding for organizations supporting immigrant communities is being threatened.
