[CANCELED] MLK Jr Day Activities at Chelsea Depot

January 17, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm EST

[CANCELED] On January 17, the MLK Jr. Day holiday, families and youth are invited to gather from 10am to 3pm at the Chelsea Depot to work on projects to reach out in a personal way to offer welcome to refugee families. Projects include friendship bracelets, hand drawn cards, and even tie-dye socks. (Youth may bring a pair of their own to do too.)

Donated art and school supplies kits will be assembled and all the items delivered to families through Jewish Family Services and Washtenaw Refugee Welcome. It will be a fun time that will make a difference for new families to the area. Student and adult volunteers will staff the craft tables.

To volunteer, please contact owofchelsea@gmail.com. Masks will be required and social distancing in place.

Mr. Martinez participated in our immigration panel discussion on March 31. This happened the very next day!! Please call your representatives to stop the abuses of ICE and share with your friends and neighbors so they know what is going on!

Several new housing projects will be discussed ! Come learn.

To follow up on our excellent Immigration 101 discussion, this is an event to understand what is happening beyond our borders that causes so many people to leave their homes, families and cultures to make the perilous immigrant journey. Jesuit priest, Father Ismael Moreno (known to all as Padre Melo), is one of the foremost voices for human rights in his native Honduras. Close to the people most affected by oppression and poverty, Padre Melo is a soulful and analyst of the reality that the majority of Hondurans live. He is director of Radio Progreso/ERIC, a radio station center for reflection, research and communication at the service of the people throughout Honduras and Central America.

Reminder for the program on the current state of immigration in Washtenaw County and what we can do. Speakers will be from local and state Immigrant Rights groups. Monday, Mar 31 6.00 pm in the McKune Room. In-person only.

VERY important opportunity - to learn and to help. Monday, March 31 6-7.30 McKune Room CDL
