Learning For Justice
"Since the virus began to spread, people who identify as Asian American or Pacific Islander (AAPI) have been subjected to racist comments and jokes online or in person, and to isolating behavior from those who are afraid of catching the virus.
Times like these remind us that we must continuously disrupt and address issues of hate and bias, which often find their way into schools. "- Learning for Justice

Bilingual Book Club
You are invited to join our first study of a bilingual book (written in English and Spanish). We will be discussing the book, Our Voices, a collection of immigration stories written by CHCCS Latinx parents. You will have an opportunity to meet some of the authors and discuss what they meant when they wrote to “carry your culture on your back” in the hopes of providing their families with a better life.
Come examine what it truly means to be bilingual and bicultural as immigrant parents navigate life in their new homeland. Please see the attached flyer for details.
A FREE BOOK will be provided to all participants. Registration is now open and it closes on March 31, 2021. Because space is very limited, those who are enrolled will receive an email confirmation and all others will be waitlisted, so please register ASAP to ensure your space.
Nuestras Voces!
Únase a nosotros (VIRTUALMENTE) para discutir el nuevo libro,
Nuestras Voces. Este libro esta escrito por padres latinos locales analiza sus historias de inmigración y el impacto que tiene en nuestras familias. Son historias con las que nosotros los hispanos nos podemos identificar. Ven y participa, te esperamos.
