Eroc Arroyo-Montano
Director of Cultural Organizing, United for a Fair Economy
I am a proud father of three wonderful children, an emcee, circle keeper, artist, cultural organizer, educator, curandero and aspiring elder. 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.
Healing 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.
Grace Kindeke
AFSC-NH Program Coordinator
I am an artist, a dancer, and an activist earning a B.A. in Africana Studies and Sociology at UMASS Boston. I was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, immigrated to the U.S. as a toddler and grew up in Manchester, NH. 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.

Hosted by the Seacoast Interfaith Sanctuary Coalition
What does it feel like to come from another country and find a home in New Hampshire? Photographer Becky Field has been asking that question for the past decade. What started as a photographic journey has grown into a series of stories, told by people of different ages, genders, New Hampshire communities, and countries of origin. Some came to escape violence, some came for love, some came for education. Each story tells of a unique journey to find a new home in a new land.
Join us on Oct. 18, 2020, 4-5pm via Zoom as Becky Field, Martin Toe, and Sindy Rios Montenegro share stories of people who have come from other countries and who now reside in the Granite State.

Online - Peace & Justice Conversations: The Nightmare of US Immigration Policy and Strategies for Resistance and Solidarity
2020-10-26 07:00 | NH, United States
In this NH Peace Action Conversation Series broadcast we are joined by two passionate advocates for immigrant justice in New Hampshire, Maggie Fogarty and Grace Kindeke, who will talk about the oppressive tactics of ICE and CBP in the Granite State and the organizing work of the AFSC and others who stand in solidarity with immigrants.
We will look at some of the most shocking abuses of ICE including the involuntary sterilization of women, inadequate protections against COVID-19 for detainees, the movement to dismantle ICE and CBP and the opportunities for humane immigration policy in the next administration.
The U.S. immigration system violates civil and human rights and terrorizes our communities. This violence did not begin with the Trump administration but has escalated in recent years, with increased surveillance, checkpoints, separation of families, profit-driven incarceration, denial of asylum rights, and increased danger to immigrants who are detained during the pandemic. Instead of acting as the service agency it was originally designed to be, federal immigration officials are increasingly involved in the administration’s authoritarian response to racial justice protests and operate with apparent impunity.
U.S. immigration policies are rooted in many decades of U.S. foreign, military, and economic policies that deny human rights and undermine security abroad. These policies have become a driving factor of forced migration; creating the circumstances that displace people from their homes while also then punishing them for seeking refuge in the U.S.
How are immigrants and allies responding to these realities? What are the demands of the immigrant rights movement for humane immigration policy?
Maggie Fogarty – Maggie is the Director of the NH Program for the American Friends Service Committee. Her work includes organizing, coalition-building and advocacy for immigrant rights, affordable housing, tenant and worker rights and ending homelessness. She coordinates NH Voices of Faith and the NH Immigrant Rights Network and is co-director of the NH Immigrant Visitation Program at the Strafford County jail. Maggie was a founding member of Housing Action NH and served for many years on the boards of the Concord Coalition to End Homelessness and New American Africans. She has worked for AFSC-NH since 2007. She lives with her family in Dover, NH.
Grace Kindeke – Grace is an artist, a dancer, and an activist earning a B.A. in Africana Studies and Sociology at UMASS Boston. Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, she immigrated to the U.S. as a toddler and grew up in Manchester, NH. In 2013, Grace moved to Boston where she strengthened her voice, performed from her ancestral roots, and deepened her commitment to Black liberation, systemic justice, and generational healing. In 2018 gentrification encouraged her and her husband to move back to New Hampshire. She brings her intersecting experiences and perspectives as an African, a woman, and an immigrant to her work as AFSC-NH’s new Program Coordinator.

Jenni Walkup, anthropologist and organizer, will share her story of growing up Jewish in New Hampshire, and the anti-Semitism that she experienced.

Webinar - Virtual & Outdoor Community Building
2020-12-15 14:00 - 15:00 | NH, United States
**Please note: You must register via Zoom to attend**
The inability to convene in person (due to Covid-19) continues to pose challenges for service providers, local government offices, and others who deliver community-based programs.

This webinar will explore some of those creative solutions firsthand, and leave you with excitement for what your community-building programs could look like in 2021. Come ready to learn, ask questions, and brainstorm for the new year.

Online - Peace & Justice Conversations: Housing Jubilee: Stories of Housing Justice in NH
2020-12-21 19:00 - 20:00 | NH, United States
Jubilee is stories from landlords, formerly homeless, and tenants about housing in NH.
We’ll hear from Martin Toe about Granite State Organizing Project’s Housing Jubilee Campaign here in New Hampshire.
Debt jubilee, a practice going back 4,000 years, is an established way of resetting economies that are burdened by excessive personal and collective debt. As we emerge from the economic devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic, we must consider this way of returning to individual and collective economic wholeness.
A particularly critical form of debt is for housing. We were in a national crisis before the pandemic began, with nearly half of all renters spending more than 30% of their income on housing costs and more than 25% paying more than 50% of their income. The Covid-19 crisis hit these households harder than most, as many of them depended on jobs that were lost when the economy partially closed. Some short-term assistance in the form of extra unemployment and one-time relief checks delayed the inevitable impact on these families. Many states have allocated CARES Act money to help people pay their back rent incurred during the state of emergency, but indications are that the NH one-time allocation of $2,500 per household will not be enough to prevent a tide of evictions.

Kwanzaa (African-American/Pan-African)
2020-12-26 - 2021-01-01 | NH, United States
“As an African American and Pan-African holiday celebrated by millions throughout the world African community, Kwanzaa brings a cultural message which speaks to the best of what it means to be African and human in the fullest sense. Given the profound significance Kwanzaa has for African Americans and indeed, the world African community, it is imperative that an authoritative source and site be made available to give an accurate and expansive account of its origins, concepts, values, symbols and practice.” – Dr. Maulana Karenga, www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org
Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University, Long Beach, created Kwanzaa in 1966. After the Watts riots in Los Angeles, Dr. Karenga searched for ways to bring African-Americans together as a community. He founded US, a cultural organization, and started to research African “first fruit” (harvest) celebrations. Karenga combined aspects of several different harvest celebrations, such as those of the Ashanti and those of the Zulu, to form the basis of Kwanzaa.
The name Kwanzaa is derived from the phrase “matunda ya kwanza” which means “first fruits” in Swahili. Each family celebrates Kwanzaa in its own way, but celebrations often include songs and dances, African drums, storytelling, poetry reading, and a large traditional meal.
