Across the nation, immigrant and refugee communities face escalating attacks from federal policies that undermine safety, stability, and opportunity. At this moment, local leadership is more critical than ever.

The Welcoming in Action lunch event will convene civic leaders, advocates, and partners to explore how municipalities can build and institutionalize the infrastructure of welcoming and belonging—ensuring that every resident feels safe, valued, and included.

Grounded in Welcoming America’s Welcoming Standard, this gathering will highlight how cities can:

– Strengthen community resilience and unity in the face of division

– Advance policies that promote equity, inclusion, and safety

– Create sustainable systems that embed welcoming into civic life
