(Airdate: October 26, 2023) History is steeped in ideas sparked over cups of coffee. This humble cup of coffee is one of the origin stories of the Jefferson County Immigrant Rights Advocates (JCIRA). JCIRA serves our newer residents, immigrants, who are seeking to rebuild their lives, often fractured by poverty, conflict and political instability. Join Missy Nielsen of Everybody Can for the first part of a special 3-part series on this important topic. Board member Jean Walat helps to explain the often-misunderstood aspects and underpinnings of immigration as well as the services provided through JCIRA that serve to ease their settling in.
