About The Event
On Friday, July 1 we will be showing the film: Why We Come at 7pm at FrogSong Cohousing. From the website (http://www.whywecome.org/):  In Por Que Venimos (Why We Come), Latin American migrants living in San Rafael's Canal district tell why they left their homes to endure the arduous journey to El Norte, the United States. These powerful, often heartbreaking, yet always stirring and inspiring stories offer an intimate look at lives lived at the outer limits of poverty and at the extraordinary courage of ordinary people as they take great risks seeking a better life for their families, especially for their children. Cohosts Jenny Blaker and Ellen Radovic have arranged for the film maker, Francisco Diaz, to come and speak afterwards, as well as a representative of the Sonoma County Committee on Immigrant Rights (to speak about how these issues are relevant here in Sonoma County) plus representatives of PLACE, Petaluma Latinos Active in Civic Engagement.  Should be an interesting evening.  RSVP to carrotlover@igc.org for directions
