Immigration has been a hot topic in the news. Migrant caravans, demands for a wall, and ICE raids have dominated headlines across the country. One could easily see the current environment as hostile to emigrants. However, from "No Irish Need Apply" signs posted in stores in the 1850s to the Chinese Exclusion Act of
1882 to restricting the entry of Arabs after 9/11, the US has always been a challenging place for immigrants to enter. Join us as we place today’s events into historical perspective of US immigration policy and learn about measures to support immigration and immigrants around Detroit.

Moderator:
Dr. Judith Pennywell, Director of the U of M International Center

Panelists:
Deborah Drennan, CEO of Detroit Freedom House
Dr. Ann Lin, Associate Professor of Public Policy for the U of M Ford School of Public Policy
Kevin Piecuch, Executive Director of Southwest Detroit Immigrant and Refugee Center

Every year there is some kind of health scare capturing America's attention. From SARS to Coronavirus, warnings have been issued to make the public aware of a possible epidemic. However, no public health warnings have ever been issued regarding the Gun Violence that is ravaging America. Gun Violence has reached epidemic proportions as 109 lives a day were claimed in 2017 alone. What can we do to address this concern as a public health issue? What roles can research and education play in helping to curb the violence? Join us as we discuss the ways we can reframe the Gun debate in America.

Government leaders are finding it more and more difficult to secure the funding necessary to maintain services for their constituents. This situation has led them to turn to historically untoward means of boosting revenues such as casinos, sports betting, and marijuana. Many believe allowing and taxing such activity will help communities bridge the gaps in their budgets, while others question the negative impacts on society. Join us as we weigh the social and financial impacts of Taxing Vice in our communities.
