The public is invited to a potluck and program celebrating the one year anniversary of the passing

of the Sanctuary measure for Humboldt County, the first voter-passed sanctuary initiative in the country.

The evening, “Ebb and Flow of Immigration in Humboldt, Part 1: Stories from Latinx and Asian Communities,” has been organized by

Centro del Pueblo, the Asian Desi Pacific Island Collective of Humboldt State University, and Taiko Swing Humboldt, and is sponsored by The Arcata Playhouse. The program is the first in a series of events to raise awareness of the contributions and stories of immigrants to Humboldt County.

Community members are invited to bring a potluck dish to share, and students are encouraged to take a break

from studying for finals and enjoy the food and learning exchange. Highlights of the evening include:

celebrating the one year anniversary of the passing of Measure K; Maureen McGarry sharing artwork from

detained immigrant children on the border; an overview of the Chinese expulsion that was carried out in Eureka

in the late 1800’s; and Brenda Perez and Mitch Higa speaking about solidarity pilgrimages to detention centers in Yuba City and Crystal City, TX.
