Braden Paynter de la organización International Coalition of Sites of Conscience facilitará una conversación con oficiales municipales, incluyendo a la alcaldesa Kimberley Driscoll de Salem y los concejales Josh Zakim de Boston y James Cote de Newton. Ellos hablarán sobre los factores positivos y negativos que consideraron antes de decidir adoptar la designación “ciudad santuario” para sus municipalidades.

Las Conversaciones Comunitarias se ofrecen gratuitamente al público y se recomienda hacer reservaciones. Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre este evento, favor de contactar a Ana Nuncio, anuncio@7gables.org.

The primary goal of The Gables in hosting these dialogues is to encourage all residents and civic leaders of Salem and surrounding communities to listen, learn, and share their thoughts on immigration and immigration reform.  The immigration conversations serve as an educational tool to explore some deeply entrenched perceptions and misperceptions that new immigrants and the descendants of earlier generations of immigrants have about each other — and sometimes about themselves and their own heritage.

Al patrocinar estos diálogos, el objetivo principal de nuestro museo es animar a todos los residentes y líderes cívicos de Salem y de ciudades vecinas a escuchar, aprender y compartir sus perspectivas sobre el tema de la inmigración y la reforma inmigratoria. Las conversaciones comunitarias sirven para educar y explorar algunas percepciones e impresiones erróneas que rigen en las mentes de los nuevos inmigrantes y en las mentes de los descendientes de previas generaciones de inmigrantes cuando se miran uno al otro. Las conversaciones también sirven para aclarar percepciones erróneas que cada grupo de inmigrantes sostiene acerca de sí mismo y de su patrimonio en este país.
