Join us at Western Washington University’s Community Engagement Fair. Learn more about LALA and just come and say hello. Besides information about LALA, we are sponsoring Latino students from Western to register people to vote and encourage all to get out an vote. Su voto es su voz. We hope to see you there.
Thanks to all those who came to our table to learn more about voter registration and/or to learn more about the Latino Advocacy and Leadership Association – Whatcom. Appreciation to those who joined Rodrigo Gonzalez-Juarez for this important community event.
