For this event, they are joining with the community to discuss civil rights issues most important to New Americans.

After surveying folks in New American communities statewide, the agencies developed a format for addressing issues like employment rights, housing rights, hate crimes, and police misconduct.

They will educate, communicate, and collaborate to bring together those who have immigrated to Ohio from places all over the world to understand their rights, learn best practices, and work together to create better communities for all.
