Uniting NC is busy planning a series of local conversations on the theme of “North Carolina is Home.”  These dialogues will take place at colleges, churches, libraries and community centers – anywhere people want to come together to discuss what’s important in their community.  Uniting NC provides a safe environment to discuss and share honest opinions about the sensitive topic of immigration.

Earlier this year, we held a well-attended dialogue in Burlington, NC.  We’ve seen firsthand how our communities benefit when we all come together to have a respectful conversation about the things that are most important to us.  We’re excited to bring this model to many locations across the state in the coming months.  Stay tuned for more specifics.
