1. Navigating through US Legal and Social Systems Workshop Idea

  • (Knowing the system [Courts and social agencies, Overcoming fears, Human rights] - got 64 votes)
  • (Education [Help parents understand student rights] - got 26 votes)
  • (Transportation [Driver’s license, bilingual access] - got 15 votes)
  • (Resource manual [Local/Region and State] - got 9 votes) = 114 votes combined
Considering these ideas where should we start?
Who else would you invite to work on this?

Also, JR Peralta with AMEXCAN has offered some classing dealing with a few of these subjects. The classes are good, and they are mobile. Since it is through AMEXCAN, they can go anywhere you need them to do a presentation. He's always been willing to help me when I need it with workshops.
He can be contacted through Lenoir Community College or at the MEOC meetings every month.
