In this first installment of Reflections: A Race Forward Podcast, recorded at the National Immigrant Rights Conference 2021, Nicole Melaku, Executive Director, National Partnership For New Americans tells Race Forward’s Hendel Leiva, “Seven years ago, there were a lot of folks who were still squeamish about talking about immigrant integration beyond typical terms of workforce or English. And so here we are seven years later, where we unapologetically address the need to bring about real reform for millions of people across the country.”
Nicole expands on this point as she talks about the exponential growth of the National Immigrant Integration Conference over the last ten years, and shares her thoughts on the importance of boldly “leaning in” to push policymakers to enact urgent reform for immigrant communities nationwide.
