Fransisco "Pancho" Arguelles from Highlander Institute came to our last meeting with great information.

Pancho was at our last meeting to give us a mini-seminar on how to be effective organizers and gave us tips on progressive social change activism.

Highlander Institute sponsors educational programs and research into community problems, as well as a residential Workshop Center for social change organizations, like JIFM-UH.

For more information visit their website:www.highlandercenter.org

He was just inspirational, encouraging and most importantly gave us new knowledge!!

Thank You Pancho!!
