OWOF Summer Get-Together

NEW DATE – THURSDAY, AUGUST 18
Join us on August 18 at Pierce Park, 6pm – 8pm
We can actually get together in person! We’ll have the fixings for ice-cream sundaes and have a chance to meet up with like-minded friends and maybe make a few new ones.
There will be a short business meeting at 7pm to share survey results and to identify folks interested in the different Action Topics that came out of the survey. Hope to see you there!

School Board Elections – Campaigns Launch

Keep an eye on the upcoming School Board Elections on the Nov 8 ballot. One World One Family is committed to seeing the efforts of the Diversity, Equity, Belonging and Inclusion Committee continued and supported by the Board of Education. We will be posting candidate responses and statements and reinforcing some of the critical issues in the campaigns. With a new Superintendent in place and the majority of the Board up for election, this is a critical time to pay attention!


Thank you for your time and attention. Stay engaged!

A good vigil for immigrant rights. City of Chelses passed the ordinance that police and staff cannot ask about immigration status for routine stops or interactions. Sheriff Alycia Dyer declared that the Washtenaw County Sheriffs Dept will not help or house ICE detainees.

ORDINANCE REGARDING IMMIGRATION STATUS! Tuesday, January 21, 2025, the Chelsea City Council meeting will consider a second reading of the City of Chelsea Solicitation of Immigration Status Ordinance. Below is an excerpt from the ordinance language. The whole document is posted in the council package online. (See below pg 78). Please consider attending the meeting and speaking at public comment to support the ordinance.
