What does it mean to be a sanctuary community in Maine? What constitutional rights apply to everyone in the U.S., regardless of immigration status? Bangor immigration attorney Angela Okafor will address these issues and more to help our community navigate through recent policy changes.

Angela Okafor is an attorney, businesswoman, and former Bangor City Council member. While she specializes in immigration law, Angela is also an entrepreneur and organizer who focuses on building community. A Nigerian immigrant, she has lived in Bangor with her family since 2008.

This event kicks off the MDI Racial Equity Working Group Winter Speaker Series. The MDI REWG is a group of Mount Desert Island residents who aim to deepen our understanding of power and privilege and to foster racial justice, equity, and inclusion on MDI and beyond, always recognizing our shared humanity.
