*Eritrean Community Candidate Forum*
The Coalition of Immigrants, Refugees & Communities of Color (CIRCC)
invites you to a lively candidates forum at the Eritrean Association
Community Center, located at 1954 So. Massachusetts St., on Saturday, Oct.
11 from 12 to 3 p.m. followed by a reception with food and drink. The event
is free and open to the public—let our voices be heard & learn how it can
make a difference.
Members of our communities will meet candidates, raise important issues
facing our communities, and have the chance to directly ask candidates
their questions.
Candidates will respond to our communities’ issues and how they will
address them.
For our 3rd annual candidate’s forum, we are broadening our political scope
by hosting candidates from federal and state legislative races as well as
judicial races.
The forum will include Congressman Jim McDermott & Adam Smith, exciting
dialogue between Pramila Jayapal & Louis Watanabe for State Senate (37th
district), as well as Frank Chopp & Jessica Spear for the House of
Representatives (43rd district), among many others in the greater Seattle
area. We will also provide translators for French, Spanish, Khmer,
Vietnamese, Tigrinya, Amharic, Oromo and Somali speakers and others as
requested. More information atwww.coalitioncommunitiescolor.org.
