Our March meeting will focus on the topic of immigration and how current national policies have deeply affected our local community.

We will hear from local community leader, Pastor Becky Turner with Maplewood United Church of Christ, on how her congregation opened their doors to provide sanctuary for Alex Garcia after ICE denied his request to remain in the US.
