MAKE YOURSELF COUNT / HAGASE CONTAR
A training program and organizing campaign for organizations and advocates serving San Diego’s hard-to-reach populations

The Spring of 2010 will bring two developments with lasting impact on San Diego’s under-served populations:  the launch of the 2010 Census and the passage of healthcare reform legislation. In response the San Diego-based Foundation for Change, in partnership with The California Endowment, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants & Refugees, and the San Diego Immigrant Rights Consortium, has launched a six-month program of training and mobilization to organizations serving marginalized communities within the greater San Diego region. 

Registrations for the FEBRUARY 20 TRAINING / MOBILIZATION ONLY can be made at $50/individual by contacting Jill Holsin at jill@foundation4change.org or 619-692-0527. Space is limited.

As part of this program, the Foundation for Change will convene a major training and mobilization on Saturday, February 20, 2010. Participants will learn how to advocate effectively for participation in the 2010 census and how to prepare their communities for the changes that healthcare reform legislation will bring. Training will be provided by experts from organizations working these issues statewide, including the National Network for Immigrant & Refugee Rights and the California Pan-Ethnic Health Network and the California Immigrant Policy Center, as well as Partnership Specialists from the U.S. Census. See below for more information.
