Gratitutde for Community Base Building

As we move deeper into the fall, we look back at our annual convivio celebrated at the end of August as a testament to the strength of the ever-growing Casa community. We continue to recognize the ridging of ethnic, linguistic, and cultural divides that not only occurs in Casa leadership spaces -- our concejo / directiva but which is happening in our day-to-day work, organizing with workers in wage theft / harassment cases as well as the multi-faceted immigration solidarity projects such as welcoming recent arrivals from Central America, south America, and Haiti. 

September, October, and November have brought and continue to bring direct engagement with clinics to support the sheltering and integration of Haitian families and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) processing for eligible families & individuals. Know-your-rights workshops for recently arrived folks more broadly, as well as the tiredless support of a good many un-accompanied or semi-un-acommpanied minors thorugh Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) visa work. Finally, we have the hope to train new volunteers in assiting families with self-help ('pro-se') asylum application preparation. Please stay tuned for details and dates to come soon! 

In solidarity,
Casa
