SAN JOSE– From Strangers to Neighbors: Community Gatherings about Economic Inequality

SAN JOSE– How can we thrive, and not just survive, in the Silicon Valley?  Join the 1500 Stories Project and Sacred Heart Community Service for two evenings of community building around economic inequality in the Silicon Valley.  Come share your story, meet others in your community and discover ways to make a difference. 

On Thursday October 11, 2018 from 7-9pm in the Learning Center at Sacred Heart Community Service, we will share our experiences with economic vulnerability. 

We will deepen the discussion on Thursday October 25 from 6:30-8:30pm in the Visual and Performing Arts Center at De Anza College, exploring our Silicon Valley dreams and doubts.  1500 Stories is a collaborative art and digital storytelling project about economic inequality in the U.S. and is honored to partner for these public forums with Sacred Heart Community Service, a leader in addressing the root causes and consequences of poverty.  Visit 1500stories.org and www.sacredheartcs.org to learn more.  These forums are made possible by support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities (www.calhum.org); views expressed at the forums do not necessarily represent those of California Humanities or the NEH.  Contact jennifermyhre@1500stories.org with questions and RSVP at https://fromstrangerstoneighbors.splashthat.com/
