Compassionate ARTS  in Action 

ACW: Compassionate ARTS facilitates Community Conversations on Know Your Rights over a course of three days we will focus on; Safety and Justice, DACA and Immigration, Mental Health with an ACLU expert at attendance all three days. (Also thinking that would be an excellent opportunity to invite the ACLU to become a sponsor/partner)
