WCWC-WICIR Community Social ~ Evento Social de la Comunidad

Thanks to everyone who came out to the WCWC-WICIR Community Social this past Friday and thanks to the First United Church for making it all possible by hosting everyone! The event was fantastic: tons of people made it out; we had lots of wonderful food brought by community members and donated by the Ann Arbor People's Food Co-Op, ZZ's Produce, and Dos Hermanos -but it didn't last long; there was a great performance by the children's ballet folklorico; and we got to enjoy the cool beats of DJ Chepe!

Gracias a cada uno que vinieron a el Evento Social para la Comunidad del WCWC-WICIR este Viernes pasado y muchas gracias a la First United Methodist Church por hacerla posible! El evento fue fantastico: habian mucha gente; comimos mucha comida fabuloso de la comunidad y donado por Ann Arbor People's Food Co-Op, ZZ's Produce, and Dos Hermanos -pero se desaparecio muy rapidamente; habian un gran funcionamiento del grupo ballet folklorico de ninos; y gozamos la musica tan "cool" de DJ Chepe!

There was also an open forum on community needs related to immigration and labor. From this we created two task forces -one for immigration-related issues and one for labor-related issues to brainstorm solutions and take action now!

Tambian habia una platica sobre las necesidades de la comunidad relacionado por inmigracion y trabajo. De esto creamos dos grupos del trabajo -uno de inmigracion y uno del trabajo para desarollar soluciones y toma accion ahorita!

¡¡¡STAY TUNED FOR THE FORUM MINUTES AND THE DATES FOR THE TASK FORCE MEETINGS TO BE INCLUDED AND TAKE ACCION WITH US!!!

¡¡¡ESPERA POR LOS "MINUTOS" DE LA PLATICA Y LAS FECHAS DE LOS REUNIONES DE LOS GRUPOS DEL TRABAJO PARA SER INCLUIDO Y TOMAR ACCION CON NOSOTROS!!!

The objective is to provide an opportunity to express thoughts, fears
and concerns regarding immigration policies in the U.S., and to learn
a little bit about and begin to understand a few of the many
complexities of this current front-page issue. It is inadvisable to
take a position on an issue with which we are not fully conversant.
This series will tie in topically with the Isaiah 58 National Prayer Vigil and
Fast; Michigan's designated time, along with several other states, is
July 11 - 17.

El objetivo es de crear una oportunidad para expresar pensamientos, terrores y preocupaciones a cerca de las politicas de inmigracion en los Estados Unidos, y para aprender un poco y comprender un poco sobre las complejidades de esta tema. No es recomendado tomar una posicion sobre un tema si no lo conocemos. Esta serie conectara con Isaiah 58 National Prayer Vigil y Fast; el tiempo de Michigan, como otros estados, es July 11-17.
