Hi All,

 

Please see the attached flyer (and Joy’s message below) about a virtual event this weekend.  Some of you may be familiar with Las Voces, but it’s a collective of Latinx voices here in the Lincoln area.  They have several prominent members, including Marty Ramirez, who have worked closely with LLAS and the Institute.

 

Best,

Trey

Subject: Las Voces Zoom summit this weekend

 

Dear Trey,

 

Dr. Marty Ramirez, professor emeritus and friend of the Institute and MASA, wanted the LLAS faculty members to know about this Las Voces summit this weekend in response to the possibility of the deportation of immigrants.

 

Would you please forward it to the LLAS listserv you created?

 

Many kind thanks,

Joy

I acknowledge and honor the Pawnee, Ponca, Oto-Missouria, Umonhon (Omaha), Dakota, Lakota, Arapaho, Tsististas & Suhtai (Cheyenne), and Kaw Peoples, as well as the relocated Ho-Chunk, Iowa, and Sac and Fox Peoples, upon whose homelands now reside the campuses and programs of the University of Nebraska, a land-grant institution. Let us recognize the legacies of violence, displacement, and survival that bring us here today.
