Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition is hosting a Community Organizing Workshop on December 10th from 1:30-3:30pm and the 11th from 1:30 to 5:30pm.
Giving the workshop will be Francisco Pacheco, the East Coast Field Coordinator from the National Day Labor Organizing Network (NDLON), and another organizer from Arizona who helped develop the neighborhood defense committee structure in response to SB1070.
The event will be in Spanish at St. Andrew’s Church (806 NE Alberta St.).
We will become informed about the structure and purpose of neighborhood defense committees, learn about anti-immigrant legislation, and develop a concrete plan based on a survey of the needs of the community, to strengthen the (Latino) community.
