Through this new program, we were able to engage 7 young adults in civic engagement. education, and public policy education. Our first Fellowship cohort consisted of college aged youth passionate about social justice and wanting to take action in their community. Our Fellows engaged with Latinx voters across the state through efforts such as non-partisan phone banking and canvassing. We also piloted our Ambassador program with 3 high school students. Ambassadors prepared for their journey beyond high school by learning about topics surrounding access to higher education, redistricting, and immigrant rights. PARE- Program of Assistance, Resources, and Education:We continued our reproductive justice work through PARE- Program of Assistance, Resources, and Education. PARE empowerment groups engage adult Latinas who have been affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. In 2021, there were 2 cohorts of PARE, a total of 23 members. Many of our PARE members have gone on to join our Community Leadership and Action Committee. Community Leadership and Action Committee (CLAC): We are proud of the work our Community Leadership and Action Committee (CLAC) members have done during 2021. The 13 community leaders became a bridge of trust in the face of uncertainty and doubts from the Latinx community about COVID-19 and vaccines. They have participated in nearly 100 community events and reached more than 5,000 people. In 2021, they received trainings through virtual workshops from health experts and speakers from organizations that provide services to the immigrant community community in the state.COVID related activities: Mutual Aid Fund:El Pueblo created our Mutual Aid Fund in 2020 to support families economically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic who were not eligible to receive stimulus checks or unemployment payments due to their immigration status. In 2021, we worked to close that gap by ensuring that Latinx immigrant families from various North Carolina counties had access to information about COVID-19 and were able to be vaccinated against the virus. For this reason, weve joined efforts with other organizations and the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) to launch information and vaccination campaigns. These campaigns were planned and executed in collaboration with our community leaders who make up the Community. Leadership and Action Committee (CLAC):During 2021 we have carried out and/or supported 11 vaccination events and provided information on prevention and access to COVID-19 vaccines to more than 5,000 people. We have used social platforms and our website to raise awareness about the virus, the importance of taking care of ourselves, and promoting the COVID-19 vaccine. Health Fair: On September 19th, we organized a COVID-19 health and vaccination fair in our offices. Nearly 60 people reached out to receive their first dose! 267058 Policy Change: In 2021, our youth and adult community leaders prepared themselves to talk to their legislators about policies that are important to them and their families, such as health, education, and immigration. El Pueblo, along with partners from the Immigrant Rights Alliance fought against Senate Bill 101. As a coalition, we took a stand against 14 anti-immigrant bills, all together with our partners and allies, we led 2 lobby days, 3 press conferences, and 3 rallies/protests. Through these activities, we were able to build community and solidarity with other immigrant groups. 83495 La Fiesta del Pueblo:Nos cuidamos, uno a otro.- We take care of each other.Our community is our top priority, which is why we decided to move to a virtual celebration for Fiesta 2021. We continued our tradition of supporting local artists and businesses while keeping the safety of our community as our top priority. We enjoyed an afternoon of spectacular performances from local musical artists such as Javier Montano and dance groups like Huepa Culture and messages from local food and artisanal vendors. Our headliner, Aymee Nuviola, was spectacular. Virtual Fiesta was a representation of the love for our community. Our video has reached over 20,000 viewers on Facebook! Explore all of our musical artists, dance performers, visual artists, vendors, and Drag virtual presenters, Eevee Dulce and Tesoro, and find where to watch our Facebook Live Fiesta online at https://elpueblo.org/la-fiesta-del-pueblo-2021/ Art and Organizing:At El Pueblo, using art and culture to bring community together is quintessential. Here are some highlights of all the ways we came together to celebrate and take action in 2021.Zumba: Zumba is a fun way for people to come together to dance regardless of how skilled of a dancer they may be. To celebrate Angelines time with us as Executive Director and to welcome Iliana as our new Executive Director, we held a community Zumba class. We continued a short series of Zumba classes Zumba con El Pueblo to bring out community members to learn more about us.Queer Prom: What better way to celebrate our Queer youth than with a good ole fashioned prom? Partnering with Inside Out, we were able to host an outdoor celebration for youth by youth. Leaders from El Pueblo and Inside Out worked collaboratively to create a safe space for youth of all genders and sexual orientations to stop by, dance, and have a great time. Día de los Muertos: We celebrated Day of the Dead with the help of community grassroots organizers. With their help, we were able to plan the event and build alters honoring community members whose lives were lost. The 4 altars honoring the deceased were for COVID-19 victims, trans folks, people killed at the border, and a community altar. Although the theme of Day of the Dead is death, the holiday celebrates life as was seen in our joyous community gathering. Food donations and COVID-19 vaccines were also available at the event for community members.Posadas: To organize for immigrant rights and against harmful legislation we supported grassroots groups and organizations in a series of posadas. Posadas are an essential holiday celebration for many folks in Latin America. The story of Mary and Joseph seeking asylum is direct parallel to the asylum migrants seek in the U.S. The posadas served as a moment to gather in community and to collectively call for immigrant rights. This series of posadas was hosted by several grassroots groups. 1003440 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 51 0 true 15 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X Cecilia Saloni 9198351525 3125 Poplarwood Court Raleigh NC 27604 Iliana Santillan Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 82687 0 7854 Angeline Echeverria Previous Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 26238 0 1478 Carolina Izaguirre Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Yesenia Merino Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maria del Carmen Sanchez Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Diana Urlaub Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lariza Garzon Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nayeli Garcia Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amalia Mercedes Restucha-Klem President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Danica Lee Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Marta Perrupato Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 108925 0 9332 0 false false false 226399 1627989 1854388 2558 2558 1856946 0 0 2558 168783 168783 118257 94971 12518 10768 474068 368435 60192 45441 4573 3732 433 408 61924 50238 6111 5575 49143 39907 4838 4398 12516 10160 1234 1122 110478 66004 43441 1033 16656 12920 2899 837 73538 63600 5287 4651 3571 3571 14930 6823 7833 274 3200 3200 5239 4401 366 472 Educational MaterialsAds 12307 7575 4387 345 Participant Expenses 98030 98030 3301 1090 928 1283 1230514 1003440 150467 76607 223065 681245 724806 726896 313249 467725 104765 8010 5948 5948 60559 54000 9759 6559 1381592 1896383 32496 38130 117275 149771 38130 X 702654 1207653 529167 650600 1231821 1858253 1381592 1896383 626432 0 X X false true X true false X 963690 922844 1341399 1209313 1854388 6291634 963690 922844 1341399 1209313 1854388 6291634 2782208 3509426 3484 4491 7837 5497 2558 23867 212 212 6315713 311729 0.55570 0.50510 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 41116 16271 57387 1096520 1153907 190391 47598 false 154420 149987 201429 190391 696227 1044341 45203 10367 76 57387 113033 38605 37497 50357 47598 174057 261086 755 961 25 41116 42857 60559 54000 6559 6559 1907891 50945 50945 1856946 1856946 1281459 50945 50945 1230514 1230514 true Mutual Aid Fund for Covid-19 pandemic 445 168783 Monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) El Pueblo opened an online application process that was publicized on social media.
