This was a very active weekend for Queens Community House. We went to the meeting in the Renaissance Charter School for the Green Agenda for Jackson Heights on Saturday where we talked about 7 different topics:
- transportation, parking, & traffic
- garbage & recycling
- ?
- green jobs
- equality
- housing
- parks
Immigration Reform RallyWe also had about 70 students travel to Washington, D.C., accompanied by Anna Dioguardi, Farzana Morshed, and Adam Skarbinski to rally for immigration reform*. The weather was beautiful this weekend, which helped 200,000+ people voice their demand for their rights. President Barack Obama told us by video that he supported us. Let's make sure he
doesn't forget us! Although it was wonderfully inspiring to see so many people together for such an important cause, I sincerely hope that we don't have to do it ever again because our goal of legalization and rights will have come true.*I was there drumming with Minkwon Center, after having spent Saturday night in Fairfax, Va.
