LONG BEACH — On March 13, Rep. Alan Lowenthal hosted A Conversation About America Town Hall at Long Beach City College.

The panel also discussed immigration and refugee policy under the Donald Trump administration, as well as well as the ongoing struggle to protect the environment and further civil rights for all Americans. The event was met with a small group of Trump supporters.
