Charlotte became a Certified Welcoming City in May 2022. A Welcoming City is a designation by Welcoming America given to cities and counties that have created policies and programs reflecting their commitment to immigrant inclusion.
During Welcoming Week, cities across the globe celebrate with events that not only spark conversation but change.
Join us at MacFly Fresh for a discussion with Federico Rios (Assistant Director, Office of Equity, Mobility and Immigrant Integration – City of Charlotte) about the challenges immigrants in our community face, what it means to create a Welcoming City, and how we can all play a role.
All events above are FREE, but we ask that you RSVP at our website.
