by Anna Aschenbach, WILPF
At the May 16, 2010 monthly meeting of the New Haven County branch, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), we adopted the following project:
Our branch will sponsor a public meeting called Voices of Immigrant Women Speak Out. We will ask the speakers to talk of the abuses they have experienced in jobs, housing, from Immigration Control Enforcement (ICE) or from other groups and individuals in the U.S.
Our branch will ask three or four women from various ethnic origins to speak at a late afternoon public meeting in June in a free and accessible New Haven public place. We will offer each speaker an honorarium of $40. As soon as date, time and place have been established, we will send notices to our mailing list and will distribute fliers.
For up-to-date information or to suggest a possible speaker, please call Anna Aschenbach, (203) 468-8289 after 1 p.m. or leave a slow and clear message on the tape.
