UAO's Garcon Morweh on building solidarity on the South Side

Garcon Morweh, Uniting America Fellow at the United African Organization, recently wrote about some his collaboration with community groups on Chicago's South Side. In a piece for the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Garcon describes the partnership he is building with Metropolitan Area Group for Igniting Civilization (MAGIC). As part of his work as a Uniting America, Garcon will:

"Recruit long time residents and new Americans to work together in the areas of U.S. citizenship, ESL classes, and after school tutoring. Immigrant and long-term residents will also work together organizing service events and Community Unity events to share food, culture, and ideas."
