Response to call for help with community conversation on immigration in phoenix
John Falchi
This is all well and good for helping to deal with this very highly charged question related to immigrants' rights for the people traveling to, or living in, Phoenix. I am sure this is needed.
However, what about those who live, work and go to school here, who need to deal with this, or similar topics, right here in San Diego. Are those of you with facilitative experience ready, willing, and able to help facilitate highly charged meetings like that right here.
Well, I was to one of those meetings today. Even though my car is down, I was able to hitch a ride to participate in a large planning meeting hosted, today, by "Education for All," at UCSD, that is leading up to an even bigger local Summit on 9/11/10 that is scheduled to be held at SDSU, and a further even larger local gathering, in conjunction with a statewide, as well as nation-wide, action on 10/07/10.
If you, Raffi, or any of you on this list, are interested in learning more about this, please get back in touch with me, and I will help to connect you up. Prior to today, with short notice, I was asked for others to invite to today's meeting. This will also be true for these subsequent meetings.
