SUMMARY:"Aquí Estamos\, Here Wear Are" Art Show Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an opening reception to see the work of Pulitzer Prize winner José Galvez on Friday\, February 5 from 6 – 9pm at the City Gallery (118 S Person St.). For over 40 years\, José Galvez has used black and white film to create a powerful and unparalleled historical record of the Latino experience in America. His compelling work\, done with respect\, pride and no pretense\, captures the beauty of daily life. For José\, photographing the lives of Latinos is not a one-time project or “current passion” but a lifelong commitment. All are invited to come and learn more about Latino life in North Carolina through art. This event is part of the First Friday Gallery Walk and is made possible through the NC Council of Churches\, Vintage Church and the City Gallery and generous funding from Z. Smith Reynolds. The show will be up all month.

SUMMARY:Putting Our Faith into Action: Supporting Farm Workers in North Carolina
DESCRIPTION:Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields\, which you kept back by fraud\, cry out\, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.” James 5:4 \nMany faith traditions call us to support farm workers – some of the most exploited workers in the U.S. – and their efforts to improve their lives. Putting Our Faith into Action: Supporting Farm Workers in North Carolina is an opportunity to learn about farm workers’ struggle for justice and how we can support them in their efforts to gain dignity on the job\, better pay\, and safer working conditions. \nFarm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) President Baldemar Velasquez will provide an update on FLOC’s national tobacco campaign and summer organizing efforts in North Carolina. Representatives from regional groups will share their upcoming activities and more information about Farmworker Awareness Week. \nNational Farm Worker Ministry invites you to gather with people from various faith backgrounds to find out how you can participate in the farm worker movement happening in North Carolina. \nFor more information contact the NFWM National Office at 919-807-8707\, info@nfwm.org or\nvisit www.nfwm.org. \nSponsored by: National Farm Worker Ministry\, United Church of Christ Justice and Witness Ministries\, North Carolina Council of Churches and the Farm Labor Organizing Committee
