The Changing Face of Immigration
2025-10-07 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Chicago) | Santori Library, 101 S. River Street, Aurora, IL, 60506, United States
On September 7, the League of Women Voters is partnering with the Aurora Public Library District to present a program on the evolution of immigration in the United States of America. Join us to hear contemporary immigration experiences and explore why and how immigration continues to change.
The Changing Face of Immigration
Tuesday, October 7 from 7 – 8 p.m.
Aurora Public Library District, Santori Library, 101 S. River St., Rooms 125/126, Aurora, IL 60506
Virtual via Zoom (password = [REDACTED]
Program Description:
Are you one of the tens of millions of Americans who can trace a family member to Ellis Island? A sonnet by Emma Lazarus on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty includes the line, “Give me your tired, your poor,/your huddled masses yearning to be free.” Many learned this quote in school as a symbol of our immigration system, which continues to change. Immigration Attorney Omar Salguero will share contemporary immigration experiences and explore how and why immigration has changed. Mr. Salguero was born in Venezuela and raised in Columbia. He worked for a variety of financial institutions in the Chicago area before he began his practice as an Immigration Attorney. He presided over the Latino Law Student Association and served as the Central Regional Director for the National LLSA.
Please note, this is a hybrid program, so participants may join in person in Aurora or virtually via our Zoom webinar. Could you please help spread the word?

NO KINGS ELGIN - Standing Strong TOGETHER
2025-10-18 11:00 - 16:00
In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings!
Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.
The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.
A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
