March 31, 2026, 1:30 – 3:00 – Snow Library, Orleans, MA

Organized by the Orleans Citizens Forum and the Life-Time Learning Program at Snow Library, this Forum will offer a thoughtful, community-focused look at immigration as it is experienced here on the Lower Cape. Through brief presentations and guided discussion, participants will explore three key areas: demographics—who immigrants are, with a focus on the skills and contributions they bring to the Cape; enforcement—how federal immigration policies are impacting our community and how our local resources respond; and stories—personal experiences that highlight the human side of immigration.

The session includes moderated discussion, Q&A, practical action steps, and resources for further learning, offering a clear picture of how immigration shapes our local community.

The Orleans Citizens Forum will use this discussion as the basis for an additional forum on April 21 from 5 – 7pm at the Library, to delve deeper into how immigration affects the quality of life in Orleans.
