Community Voz
Community Voz is C2C's ecofeminist radio show which presents the grassroots work that local people are doing across intersecting movements. Our radio shows are engaging conversations about issues and news you probably won't hear anywhere else. We believe in community radio and alternative media, which highlights the character, beauty and courage of the voices of people on the ground. Tune in for reflections and report backs from C2C organizers and allies on the frontlines of the struggle for farmworker justice. We are extremely grateful to the talents being volunteered by Elias Lopez, Ana Sofia Garcia, and Liz Darrow, who do all of the recording and engineering, as well as KMRE, our local non profit public radio station.

CV S9 Ep 4 Migration Makes Us Stronger pt 2: A Vigil and Action at City Hall
On August 5th, 2022 dozens of community groups and allies gathered at City Hall in Bellingham for a vigil in honor of Honesto Silva Ibarra and to show support for a city-funded Immigrant Resource Center. During the previous month, immigrant families and allies folded thousands of origami butterflies in recognition of the anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and in solidarity with the continued struggle of immigrant detention and deportation. Following the vigil at city hall, community went into the building and strung the strands of butterflies up as gift to city hall, symbolizing unity and solidarity. We have asked that city hall keep the butterflies on display until after Artwalk on September 3rd, but have received no confirmation that they will. If you live in Bellingham, go see the installation at City Hall before it is gone!
