SUMMARY:National - Welcoming Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:At a time when political rhetoric has deepened divisions and the COVID-19 pandemic has renewed anti-immigrant sentiment\, Welcoming Week reminds us to double down on our inclusive vision and find new ways to bring together people across lines of difference to develop greater understanding and mutual support. \nThat is why our theme for this year’s Welcoming Week is “Creating Home Together”. Through virtual spaces and digital sharing\, Welcoming America and our network of 200+ welcoming communities are exploring ways to create home together so that everyone feels they belong\, no matter where you are or where you are from. \nVisit the Welcoming Week page (www.welcomingweek.org) to find ways you can host an event – with toolkits\, resources\, and suggestions for virtual events. Celebrate Welcoming Week and show the world how your community welcomes everyone\, from every background and demographic.

SUMMARY:Online - 2020 Black New England Conference
DESCRIPTION:14th Annual Black New England Conference:\nBLACK WOMEN ROCK:\nLeading the Charge for Social and Political Change\nA Virtual Conference\nConference Keynote Addresses & Special Guest Presentations by:\nSheryl Lee Ralph\, Susan Taylor\, Ayanna Pressley & Andrea Jenkins\n \nAs artists and activists\, politicians and pundits\, Black women continue to stand on the front line and lead the charge for social and political change. From Sojourner Truth calling for the abolition of slavery and for women’s rights\, to Tarana Burke coining “Me Too” in 2006\, Black women have played a vital role in the political and social (re)formation of the United States\, even as their leadership and activism has often been eclipsed and erased. \nThe 2020 Black New England Conference will celebrate\, examine\, and make visible Black women’s leadership and activism in fights for political and social change. We will consider Black women’s leadership and activism in a variety of social and political arenas—the classroom\, the courtroom\, business and economics\, technology\, the environment\, the arts\, religion\, government\, and others. \nFor more information\, email info@blackheritagetrailnh.org

SUMMARY:Online - Finding Home: Portraits and Memories of Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:This event is sponsored by Bookery Manchester\, FieldWork Photos\, and Welcoming Manchester.\n\nFINDING HOME: Portraits and Memories of Immigrants is a newly released book of photographs and stories that celebrates immigrants who resettled in New Hampshire. Since 2012 photographer Becky Field has illustrated cultural diversity through her photographs. Now in addition to photos\, she interviewed 40 immigrant families about life in their country and their journeys to the Granite State. The immigrants’ stories\, in their own words\, show the determination of people to find a new home\, while Becky’s photos show the vitality of cultural diversity that adds to our communities. During this online event\, Becky will talk about her work and will be joined by two immigrants\, from Russia and Ethiopia\, to share about their journey.\nFINDING HOME can be purchased at the Bookery Manchester or online (DifferentRootsNH.com). Becky donates all net profits from book sales to nonprofits that support immigrants and refugees.\n\nThis event is sponsored by Bookery Manchester\, FieldWork Photos\, and Welcoming Manchester. Welcoming Manchester is an organization that strives to bridge the gap between new immigrants and the receiving community – those who have been here long enough to welcome others. We join Welcoming cities all over the country in celebrating the contributions of our immigrant friends during Welcoming Week (Sept 12-20\, 2020).
