We must be ever vigilant in ensuring that there is no place intolerance or anti-immigrant bias exists in our neighborhoods of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. There are members of our community who do not feel safe. That is unacceptable. Please join us for an important evening as we come together. IF you are an IMMIGRANT in our community we will provide tools, resources for you-and you will meet others who care! IF you are an ALLY, we will provide ways to offer your support and meet your neighbors. Our distinguished panel will respond to concerns about possible changes in policy and laws that may affect families in our community. You will walk away knowing what it means to be an ally and concrete ways to speak up and make a difference! Together we can make our communities safe and welcoming for EVERYONE!
