Event Details
For the past two years, C2C has been pushing the Bellingham to create a city-funded Immigrant Resource Center. In addition to a formal process with the govt, a community art campaign entitled #MigrationMakesUsStronger installed thousands of origami butterflies in city hall. After a year of organizing and working with the city, the mayor failed to include the Center in the new budget, and the City Council has voted AGAINST funding the center. But this fight is not over, and community members are asking for public support.
Please email the City Council today at ccmail@cob.org to encourage them to listen to immigrants in their community and support their most vulnerable neighbors.
While emails are the most critical action now, you can also sign a petition here: https://chng.it/VmhF476jst
