Join us Friday and hear from Sonia Tuma, Regional Director for AFSC’s 13-state West Region. She'll discuss AFSC’s programming on immigration and economic justice issues in the Western U.S., including AFSC’s LA Roots for Peace program, working on food security issues in South Los Angeles. As regional director, Sonia manages AFSC’s programming in the western third of the U.S.  The West region advocates and organizes to end militarism, achieve lasting and just immigration reform, and end mass incarceration, among many social justice issues. Sonia has also been a researcher, educator, organizer, and activist for more than 25 years. A trained mediator and facilitator, she has worked with community and nonprofit groups to develop shared visions and creative, strategic programming toward social change. ----- Start your morning with us!
