A big thank you to our Winter event committee members for our event on immigration on the southern border. Our speaker, Amy Aguirre said that people do not want to leave their homes; the number one reason they leave is to flee violence. Some of the actions of our government have made it harder for farmers to make a living and climate change is also making it harder for farmers. Below is a link to some of the files our speaker shared with us. Note that one of the documents is titled “Continue to learn about immigration.” This has a list of valuable resources to learn more about this topic. More information on immigration:
We were able to test out some new technology at this event thanks to the generosity of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. Our speaker presented via zoom. Some of the attendees came in person, and some attended remotely via zoom.
