World Cultures Festival and Fines Arts Showcase - After Action Report UPDATE Civil Rights Forum The Immigration Coalition of the Quad Cities hosted a Fine Arts Showcase for Immigrant and Refugee students at the Rogalski Center at St. Ambrose University. Local art submissions were showcased as part of the QC World Cultures Festival. There were 12 submissions, including artwork, poetry and essays that were created by students from age 5 to 14. The winning submission was a poem, written by an 11-year-old, titled They Become which describes the journey of immigrating to the United States. More the 400 people attended the festival, with some expressing interest in joining the coalition. A QC Times reporter interviewed us about the Immigration Coalition and the article is available in the Saturday, April 5th edition. It's titled New Quad Cities immigrant coalition launches 'anti-dehumanization' campaign. This is a good way to spread the word that we are all neighbors! We are honored to be able to add all of these submissions to our website! Take a close look below!

Allison Ambrose Pro Immigrant and Refugee resolution presented - After Action Report Civil Rights Forum Members of the Immigration Coalition of the Quad Cities, which is an arm of the PACG Civil Rights Forum, were present at the Rock Island City Council meeting where our pro-immigrant and refugee resolution was read. Margie Mejia-Caraballo was able to say a few words about the work of the coalition and when the resolution was passed, coalition members stood up and clapped! All in all, this was a very positive experience.
