description
Join us for a conversation reflecting on the recent border trip to the Rio Grande Valley along the U.S.-Mexico border hosted by Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP) and Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR). Our panelists will share their perspectives and insights from the visit. This conversation hopes to highlight the impacts of immigration policies, amplify efforts to shift narratives and highlight the crucial need to fund civil society organizations led by impacted communities. It will explore actions identified to address human rights violations and build long-term power for those on the move. Don't miss this important opportunity to deepen your understanding of border issues and join the call for the philanthropic sector to step up and defend the rights of migrants and refugees.
