Currently, we are very concerned about the recent executive order by President Trump banning Muslims from certain countries and the message that his administration is sending to minority and historically disenfranchised communities. It affects our youth and families directly in Central Ohio.
Therefore, this Friday, we have called an emergency community meeting of all members of the Central Ohio community, activists and organizations from across Central Ohio to discuss this. We are expecting many elected officials in attendance as well. We would like to invite you to a very important community meeting that is being organized under MY Project USA. As you know, we are dedicated to the well being and empowerment of immigrants and refugee youth and families. We organize the community around issues that matter the most as well as provide services and empowerment programs for young people.
