This important and timely forum will have a panel of distinguished experts speaking on the issues that concern refugees in our community. As citizens of Kalamazoo County, we welcome our refugees based on our democratic principle that all people have worth and dignity.
Panelists:
Nkenge Bergan, Kalamazoo Public Schools
Don Cooney, Vice-Mayor, Kalamazoo
Rick Fuller, Kalamazoo County Sheriff
Aram Derbandi, Samaritas

We invite all people, including those who have been forcefully displaced, but also those who want to learn more about the crisis and about ways of getting involved in helping refugee families.
