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).

SUMMARY:Online - Finding Home: Portraits and Memories of Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:Join on October 8th for a presentation by Becky Field on her new book FINDING HOME: Portraits and Memories of Immigrants. Register in advance using this link: https://bit.ly/3mYsnhJ \nSee book description below: \nA new book has arrived that describes the journeys of immigrants to find a new home in New Hampshire. \nFINDING HOME: Portraits and Memories of Immigrants celebrates people from other countries who resettled in the Granite State. Since 2012 freelance photographer Becky Field has illustrated the diversity in this state through her photographs. Now in addition to her photos\, she interviewed 40 immigrant families about life in their country and their journeys to find a new home. The stories represent a mix of age\, gender\, New Hampshire communities\, and countries of origin. Some people came to escape violence; some came for love; some came for jobs or education. Some are teenagers with much life ahead of them; some are elders with long memories. The immigrants’ rich stories\, in their own words\, document the determination of people to find safety\, education\, work\, and freedom\, while Becky’s photos show the vitality of cultural diversity that contributes to our communities. \nThe book is $35 and can be purchased online (www.DifferentRootsNH.com)\, at local bookstores\, or directly from Becky (FieldWorkPhotos@gmail.com). All net profits from book sales go to non-profits that support immigrants and refugees. \nContact Becky if you are interested in a talk or exhibit from her work (603-568-3174).

SUMMARY:Online - Once Upon an American Dream
DESCRIPTION:The Heurich House Museum and the Bipartisan Policy Center are proud to present “Once Upon an American Dream\,” a three-part panel series exploring the stages of the immigrant experience in America: migration\, arrival\, and integration.\n \nOur third and final panel will take place as a virtual happy hour on Wednesday\, October 14 from 4 – 5:30 p.m. ET. The final event’s discussion will focus on how immigrants of the past and present integrate into our communities. Every immigrant’s journey to become an integral part of a new community is unique\, and we hope to explore these stories in our culminating panel. The discussion will focus on the following questions: What is the “Great American Success Story” and what does it mean to achieve the “American Dream”? How did immigrants integrate in the past and how do they do so today? What are some of the challenges to integration and how can they be overcome? \nThis panel series explores issues core to the Heurich House Museum’s mission. Christian Heurich’s life embodied a rags-to-riches story where an immigrant’s spirit of creative entrepreneurship yielded success and a family legacy. Yet\, the journey to achieve the American Dream comes in many forms and depends on many factors\, from gender and race\, to education and training\, opportunity and luck. Grab your favorite cocktail or “mocktail” and join the Heurich House and the Bipartisan Policy Center as we dive into these questions. \nAfter the event has concluded\, a recording will be available to view on both the Bipartisan Policy Center and the Heurich House Museum’s websites. \nThis virtual event is free\, but suggested donations are appreciated to support both organizations. \nFeatured Panelists: \n– Tyler Anbinder\, Professor of History\, George Washington University \n– Rachel Peric\, Executive Director\, Welcoming America \n– Jeff Alfaro\, Co-Owner & Founder\, JSquared Naturals

I am a queer Boricua raised in Boston\, MA and a founding member of the radical\, award-winning hip-hop group Foundation Movement\, with whom I have been blessed to facilitate workshops and perform around the globe. This has included Tanzania (where we performed at Black August)\, Kenya\, Cuba (where we were honored to meet Assata Shakur)\, Palestine (where we performed at refugee camps)\, South Africa\, and Japan (where we participated in a 72-day peace walk from Hiroshima to Tokyo). All of these experiences have and continue to deeply transform me.   \nHealing justice\, arts and activism\, and popular education remain my passion\, purpose and priority in my community liberation movement work\, which I am able to develop\, practice and facilitate in my current role as Director of Cultural Organizing at the grassroots economic justice organization United for a Fair Economy. \nGrace Kindeke\nAFSC-NH Program Coordinator \nI am an artist\, a dancer\, and an activist earning a B.A. in Africana Studies and Sociology at UMASS Boston.

In 2013 I moved to Boston where I strengthened my voice\, performed from my ancestral roots and deepened my commitment to Black liberation\, systemic justice and generational healing. In 2018 gentrification encouraged my husband and I to move back to New Hampshire. I am excited to bring my intersecting experiences and perspectives as an African\, a woman and an immigrant to my work as AFSC-NH’s new Program Coordinator. \nModerated by: \nMaggie Fogarty\, AFSC-NH Program Director \nRegister here!
