1. Leslie Graves shares some of the steps she took upon hearing the news of the separation of children from their migrant parents seeking refuge in the USA and detaining them, even losing their identities. As a mother she felt she had to act in the way she knew how, put on an event in Courthouse Square in downtown Santa Rosa, and the seed of a quickly developing project that had two weeks to fill the square with people and tables of non-profits with action plans to stop the Zero Tolerance migrant policy of the Federal Government under President Trump for its human rights abuses. The Families Belong Together rally is one of many in localities and known Federal ICE Detentioin Camps across the country, which are listed on a link below. The rally is from 10 AM to 12:30 PM this Saturday June 30 and channel your anger in meaningul and effective actions.
About our Guest: Leslie Graves got her first taste of coordinating local events while with the Sonoma County Family YMCA when she took a role of planning the Harvest Fair 10K/3K Run in 1996 and then moved onto managing events at other non-profits and corporate retailers in the field of Marketing. Currently she has been the Market and Event Manager for the Wednesday Night Market in Downtown Santa Rosa since coming on board in 2016. Mixing a background of Health/Fitness, Marketing and Community Development, Leslie is always up for helping to make a positive impact by bringing people together to celebrate community whether planning a local special event or an adding surprise element of fun to the Wednesday Night Market and in her spare time she adds her voice to a bevy of local events as the emcee around Sonoma County.
