How the Legal Power of Protecting Rights Expands the Marketplace

Abstract

The 2017 LAMP symposium aims to raise public awareness and provide resources for students, faculty, religious congregations, and community leaders in Atlanta who work with immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers or care about issues of global migration. In keeping with the LAMP vision to promote multifaith understanding in a religiously plural society, speakers and workshop leaders will address questions of migration from a variety of perspectives, including legal advocacy, spiritual care, education, interfaith action, and community organizing. By highlighting action steps and opportunities for partnership, this third annual LAMP symposium aims to work across religious and academic boundaries to promote strong communities, a vibrant nation, and a peaceful and prosperous world.
