Public Newsroom #15: 90 Days, 90 Voices
6:00 pm — 8:00 pm
Three months ago, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that barred citizens of seven countries from coming to the United States for 90 days and all refugee admissions for 120 days. Syrians, who make up 1 out of every 6 refugees in the world today, were indefinitely banned. In response to the ban, three Chicago journalists (Sarah Conway, Alex Hernendez and Nissa Rhee) founded 90 Days, 90 Voices—a storytelling project about those seeking a home in the United States during an age of unrest. Thursday, April 27 marks 90 days since the executive order was signed. Come join the founders of 90 Days, 90 Voices at this special Public Newsroom event to hear some of their favorite stories, learn tips for covering immigration issues, and celebrate the storytelling project’s work.
