Respect Y Respeto

(July 10, 2008)  Editor:

The Latino Community Providers’ Network (LatinoNet) would like to thank you for your recent bilingual story highlighting the impact of immigration policy on our local community (“The Iceman Cometh,” June 26).

You mentioned LatinoNet’s monthly meeting in the article. The Vision Statement of the LatinoNet is “a North Coast where all Spanish-speaking people feel welcomed and respected, are able to access needed services and live in a healthy supportive community.” Our monthly meetings provide an opportunity for community members to work together to help meet the needs of the local Latino community. This work is especially important given the recent enforcement of an immigration policy that has led to confusion and fear in, and marginalization of, the Latino community. LatinoNet meetings are on the second Friday of each month, 12-1:30 p.m. at the Community Wellness Center (908 7th Street, Eureka) and are open to all. For additional information see: www.latinonet.net/index.php

     

El Latino Community Providers’ Network (LatinoNet) les desea agradecer su reciente artículo bilingüe que destacó el impacto de la póliza de inmigración sobre nuestro pueblo (“Viaje A La Noche,” 26 de Junio). Se mencionó en el artículo nuestra reunión mensual. La visión del LatinoNet es “Una comunidad de la Costa Norte donde toda la gente hispanohablante se siente bienvenida y recibe respeto, puede obtener servicios necesarios, y vive en una comunidad saludable que les apoya.” Nuestras reuniones mensuales proveen una oportunidad a los miembros de la comunidad para poder trabajar juntos con la meta de ayudar la comunidad latina local. Este trabajo es muy importante especialmente en vista de los recientes eventos que han resultado en confusión, desconfianza y marginalización entre la comunidad latina. Las reuniones de LatinoNet son el segundo viernes de cada mes a las 12-1:30 p.m. en el Community Wellness Center (908 7th Street, Eureka) y todos están invitados.
