WSCO Statement on Immigration

2/15/2017

Con las discusiones en las noticias de construyendo muros, y órdenes, y redadas que discrimen y separan, nosotros en WSCO sentimos la necesidad a reiterar nuestra visión. Visualizamos una West Side justa, unida, independiente, y valiente donde toda nuestra gente está conectada, segura, saludable, y exitosa. Por mucho tiempo, el West Side ha sido una comunidad que ha extendido una bienvenida a inmigrantes y continuamos creyendo fuertemente que las comunidades que valoran a toda su gente construyen una sociedad mejor para todos.

--

With talk in the news of building walls, and orders, and raids that discriminate and separate, we at WSCO feel the need to reiterate our vision. We envision a just, united, self-reliant and bold West Side where all of our people are connected, safe, healthy and successful. The West Side has long been a place that welcomes immigrants and we continue to believe strongly that communities which value all people build a better society for everyone.
