The Community Asylum Seekers Project invites the community to a celebratory potluck and presentation on Sunday, December 11th from 3pm-6pm at the Putney Friends Meeting House.
A federal judge recently blocked Title 42, a policy upheld by the Biden Administration which has had devastating effects for people trying to legally claim asylum in the United States. Now that it's blocked - for now - participants will learn about what lies ahead in our fight to support families fleeing violence and poverty.
CASP will also be sharing an update on the No Mas Polimigra campaign in Windham County and the fight to close loopholes in the Fair and Impartial Policing Policy which continue to put local community members in harm's way. No Mas Polimigra is an ongoing statewide initiative led by Vermont farmworkers, which is at a critical juncture after the passing of three successful Town Meeting Day ballot initiatives in Windham County.
All attendees will also be entered into a raffle to win beautiful local art, and several items will be for sale with 100% of proceeds going towards the mission of CASP to cultivate a supportive community for those seeking asylum in the U.S., offering basic needs, and accompanying them on their journey towards building a life in this country.
After the presentation, attendees will be invited to celebrate this small win by sharing in a potluck of foods culturally significant to each person.
