Three rounds of topics on immigration were discussed by the participants throughout the evening. For each round, participants were seated at tables of up to five and the discussions lasted between 20 and 30 minutes. After each round participants moved to new tables with new conversational partners. Each round had different introductions and questions that take us from the past, to the present, and to the future. </p> <p> The first round of conversations focused on personal experiences and thoughts about the current state of immigration in Arizona. In the second conversation, participants discussed the impact of immigration issues on the community and the third addressed how participants will address immigration issues and opportunities in a civil and respectful way. </p> <p> Following the third round of conversations, table spokespersons each reported on one key headline topic discussed by their group. <b>Persons passionate about continuing the conversation and convening future gatherings posted discussion topics with their contact information.</b> Persons interested in participating in conversations, but not serving as conveners also posted their contact information. </p> <div style="text-align:center;color:#6e92cc;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;"> <h2><span style="font-size:10pt;">Next Step:</span> Host Your Own Conversation</h2> </div> <p> If you wish to participate in a future conversation on the following topics, contact these people for information on future gatherings: </p> <style type="text/css"> .tblHYOC, .tblHYOC th, .tblHYOC td { border: solid 2px black; } .tblHYOC th { background-color:grey; } </style> <table class="tblHYOC"> <tr> <th>Topic for further conversation</th> <th>Conveners for next conversation</th> <th>Contact information</th> </tr> <tr> <th>WHY ARE PEOPLE IMMIGRATING?</th> <td> Andy McKinnery <br> Barry Leshowitz </td> <td> <a href="mailto:andy052646@yahoo.com">andy052646@yahoo.com</a> <br> <a href="mailto:barry.leshowitz@gmail.com">barry.leshowitz@gmail.com</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE THINK DIFFERENTLY</th> <td>Camella Bazemore</td> <td> <a href="mailto:nicolebazemore@live.com">nicolebazemore@live.com</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>FACTS</th> <td> Cathy Weiss <br> Melissa Myers <br> Todd Landfried </td> <td> <a href="mailto:cweiss@delewebbcenter.org">cweiss@delewebbcenter.org</a> <br> <a href="mailto:mmyers@camelbackrp.com">mmyers@camelbackrp.com</a> <br> <a href="mailto:tlandfried@mac.com">tlandfried@mac.com</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING</th> <td>Jessica Hirshorn</td> <td> <a href="mailto:jessicahirshorn@hotmail.com">jessicahirshorn@hotmail.com</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>CREATE COMMUNITY DIALOGUE</th> <td> John Genette <br> Jon Rosenthal </td> <td> <a href="mailto:john@blackmtncomm.com">john@blackmtncomm.com </a> <br> <a href="mailto:jon@azrollover.com">jon@azrollover.com</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>EDUCATE STUDENTS TO PROMOTE CIVIL DIALOGUE IN CLASSES</th> <td> Kathleen Bartolomei <br> Laura Stengrim </td> <td> <a href="mailto:katebart@gmail.com">katebart@gmail.com</a> <br> <a href="mailto:lastengrim@gmail.com">lastengrim@gmail.com</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>HUMANIZE NOT DEMONIZE</th> <td>Marian Barchilon</td> <td> <a href="mailto:marianbarchilon@q.com">marianbarchilon@q.com </a> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>CONVERSATION ON IMMIGRATION</th> <td>Neil West</td> <td> <a href="mailto:nrwest@comcost.net">nrwest@comcost.net</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>REPEAL SB 1070</th> <td> Professor Penny L.
