Learning
The Social Justice Committee invites you to a presentation by Davidson College Associate Professor of Anthropology and Chair of Latin American Studies and DCPC member Rev. Dr. Matt Sampson: Making Sense of Central American Migration - Contemporary migration from Central America is a complex humanitarian issue that transcends the narrow political discourse driving the policy initiatives of the current administration in the White House. Based in part on the June visit of a PCUSA study team to Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, this presentation considers the "push" factors driving migration from Central America. These factors are as varied as violence, development economics, and climate change. The study team is commissioned to make a report to next year's PCUSA General Assembly in Baltimore, and the discussion will also consider the current approach to detention and applications for asylum on the Mexico-US border. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own questions. Rev. Dr. Samson's presentation will be August 25 at 5:30 in the Church Parlor.
