We had our first community awareness event last night, cosponsored by The Western Mass Interfaith Coalition for Peace and Justice. About 50 people came to see the documentary Echando Raíces/Taking Root and learn about immigrant issues. Speakers included myself (local demographics and my experiences teaching ESOL), Ruth Trujillo (personal experiences) and Erec Vaget (Rapid Response Teams).
The local paper, The Daily Hampshire Gazette, had a front page article about it and Channel 22 News covered it too (photo is from website).
Overall, it was a successful beginning thanks to Media Education Foundation and volunteers.
