About this event
LUNCHEON & PROGRAM
Expanding rights for one group almost always strengthens protections for everyone else. When due process, workplace protections or freedom from discrimination are upheld for immigrants, those same legal and social norms become harder to erode for citizens too. It’s a rising-tide effect.
On the other hand, we have watched deportation efforts in Minneapolis and elsewhere, how immigrant rights were being violated and then how quickly the rights of American citizens were violated when they protested the government's actions. When rights are denied for one group, all citizens' rights are eroded.
Doors open at 10:30 a.m. at the Winter Park Events Center for a buffet lunch. The discussion starts at 11:45 a.m. at 1050 W. Morse Blvd. in Winter Park and ends at 1 p.m. Tickets are $30 for League members, $37 non-members.
Hot Topics is streamed live on the League’s Facebook page Facebook and an edited version will be available on the League’s YouTube channel, League of Women Voters Orange County - YouTube.
