It’s been a week since the election and we’re still smiling about the results! Republicans used scare tactics and misinformation about reproductive freedom, and it didn't work. So today we’re talking about another issue that becomes more about fear than facts… immigration.
We got a chance to talk to Dr. Leah Boustan, a rockstar economist who studies immigration, and she shared some real facts and data with us. She recently published a book called “Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success” and our chat with her was so informative.
Finally, Rachel, Jasmine and Amanda raise a glass to graduating from Leadership Georgia and to immigrants who are giving back to their country and communities in this episode’s “Toast to Joy.”
This month’s great election outcomes have been making us all smile, but for some of us, the upcoming conversations around the Thanksgiving table won’t make us quite so happy. If you’d like some help navigating discussions about the election, racism, or attacks on the LBGTQ+ community, we invite you to join us for a Troublemaker Training on Thursday November 16th.
