Network Connections: Immigrant Justice

Immigration justice has been a focus for the Network multiple times in our 35-year history, and certainly in the last year.

An Immigration Working Group came together out of shared concerns for people living in communities especially targeted by the administration’s policies as well as immigrants living in Winchester.

By June of last year, some goals were achieved in terms of passing of the PROTECT Act at the state level and addition of a policy in the Winchester Public Schools to better protect immigrant students.

Our October dinner with La Colaborativa opened up conversations about how immigration policies are still affecting the community of Chelsea.

At our November Connections meeting, we’ll possibilities for future collaboration and connection with our immigrant neighbors, in Winchester and beyond.
