Know Your Neighbor Workshop

• Sunday, June 21st at 1:00pm in the Parish Hall
  Threats from immigration enforcement are one of the many ongoing crises we experience as a community. There are many ways that we can respond to these challenges, but one powerful response is to get to know our neighbors. Strong connections between neighbors can provide for peoples’ needs, both in emergencies and in everyday life. They allow us to identify threats to our neighbors and quickly get information out. And they can allow us to make decisions collectively about our neighborhoods. How well do you know your neighbors? Join us for a workshop to explore practical questions and tools for getting to know the people around us.

Everyone is welcome.
