What would it look like if our systems and institutions honored the dignity and voice of all Black, indigenous, and children of color and their families? This webinar, hosted by the Networks of Opportunity of Child Wellbeing at Vital Village Network, explores dignity and beloved community in policy advocacy praxis, specifically within the context of ongoing efforts to protect, uphold, and defend the dignity of immigrant children and families. COVID-19 and heightened attention to structural racism have shed further light on the heavy toll of our nation’s fractured systems, coupled with state-sanctioned violence and intertwined systems of detention and incarceration, on the health, wellbeing, safety, and livelihood of immigrant communities. Learn from advocates across the country who are working to dismantle structural racism not only within the immigration system, but other sectors, institutions, and programs -- from public health and early childhood, to education and legal -- that serve immigrant children and families. Speakers will highlight strategies that local coalitions have led to advocate for legislation and policy change, center community voice, and create supportive networks.

NOTE: A Spanish language line is available for participants who would like to listen to live interpretation during the webinar. 

Join the Networks of Opportunity for Child Wellbeing at Vital Village Networks for a three-part webinar series designed to build the capacity of local coalitions, community leaders, and agency partners who are working together to align community systems and promote child and family wellbeing. Each virtual session will feature innovative strategies and lessons from the field around three critical equity practices: participatory data storytelling, community-driven policy advocacy, and creating pathways for community leadership.
