Join Our Post Debate Focus Group

Calling all Independent thinkers! We are going to be hosting a digital zoom focus group with IC’s resident polling/research nerd Brett Loyd – AND WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! And we’re paying you $100 for your time!

What it is: we’re going to be hosting a one and a half hour focus group with 10-15 Independent Center members to help us and our partner The National Immigration Forum understand more about how best we can come up with bipartisan solutions to help modernize America’s immigration system.

Where it is: as this is a digital focus group, the meeting will be held online using Zoom.

When it is: we will be kicking off our first ever IC focus group September 11th at 8pm eastern. The group will last about an hour and a half, and we ask that if you signup, you pledge to stay with us for the entirety of the group. 

What to know: everything said in the focus group will be confidential. Nothing will be shared publicly without your consent. We are simply looking to hear from our community of independent thinkers to come up with the best approach to start viewing immigration modernization.   

Submit your screener info here to qualify. If you are chosen you will receive $100.00 for your time!
