Crafting Erie's Inclusive Future

Erie County, Pennsylvania, has a proud legacy of welcoming immigrants and refugees. But recent cuts to resettlement funding have created critical gaps in services. As our community grows more diverse, barriers such as language access and fragmented systems continue to impact newcomers and other underserved groups. A strategic welcoming plan offers Erie the opportunity to proactively build long-term infrastructure for equity, inclusion, and belonging. Join JES Raimy Fellow Alivia Haibach, who has both extensive international experience, with residencies in China, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, and local-level experience, developing inclusive policies and strategies to promote community belonging.
