Come and hear from Leah Boustan, Professor of Economics at Princeton University, and author of the book Streets of Gold: America’s Untold Story of Immigrant Success, and from speakers with a proven track record in the fields of immigration law, workers’ rights, and social and civic engagement.

Immigrants are an integral and fundamental part of New Jersey, comprising more than 22% of the population. Nearly one in six U.S. citizens residing in New Jersey have at least one immigrant parent. In recognition that every ethnicity has served to build and strengthen this great state, and in thoughtful consideration that the integration of newcomers will enable us to create a path leading to more secure and vital communities, we encourage all of you to join us and be part of the integration process.
