SUMMARY:Faith Community’s New  Ways to Meet  Community Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about actions being taken by faith communities to address the current challenges they are faced with. Silicon Valley is fortunate to have many faith communities that have stepped up. The topics will cover immigration changes and support actions (including DACA\, ICE raids\, religious workers visa\, H1B/H4 visa\, etc.)\, unhoused community issues (safe spaces\, faith facilities as sanctuaries\, etc.)\, stereotyping minorities with its impact on bullying and hate\, and refugee resettlement\, to name a few. \nSeveral Faith Leaders will take a lead on the discussion of these topics. There will be plenty of time for everyone to present what they are doing. Our goal is to bring everyone on the same-page\, so we can support each other’s actions and make a bigger impact. \nRSVP: rsvp@sivicouncil.org

SUMMARY:"How to Bring Balance and Compassion to Life" Educational Course
DESCRIPTION:Charter for Compassion Education Institute  is pleased to offer this very special course for only $10\, which is one 10th of its normal fee\, in honor of the Charter Education Institute’s 2nd Anniversary. We are celebrating our second year of working together to make a significant difference through compassion education courses. \nLao-tzu said\, “When you are compassionate toward yourself\, you reconcile all beings in the world.” \n“What I discovered was that life is richer and more productive when it is in balance and includes self-compassion. Simply put\, we can give more to others when we have more to give!” \nThe intention of this course is to help you realize that self-compassion and balance can generate the energy and space you need to contribute your distinctive talents and compassionate action into the world. \nCompassion is like a ribbon that wraps around you and the receiver. You both naturally feel\, at least for a moment\, connected. This connection is reality and compassion enables you to see it. \nBring more compassion into the world by first learning how to bring it to yourself. \nRegistration is now open and the course begins on February 5\, 2018. Register early to insure a spot as space is limited. You may also want to give the course to someone as a gift! \nYou can read more about the course and register here.  \nWe would love to have you join us.

SUMMARY:DACA Update Lunch Session
DESCRIPTION:For Clergy and Faith Leaders: \nDear clergy colleagues\,\n\nI am sure that many of you share my concern about the rescinding of DACA and the ambiguity surrounding the next action of Congress. We are receiving a lot of mixed messages from the media about the future of DACA. This must be unimaginably difficult for the undocumented youth\, and 1 out of every 4 of these youth lives in the state of California.\n\nToday\, at a press conference with Congresswomen Nancy Pelosi\, I saw these undocumented youth in action– they were so inspiring. (See the note below about what happened at the press conference.)\n\nAs clergy and faith leaders\, you are invited to a DACA UPDATE lunch session to hear 1) the latest and most up-to-date political developments around DACA; 2) hear how this issue is part of the larger immigration situation going on in our nation and in our county; 3) and most importantly\, hear the “unofficial story” from a DACA recipient about their experience and how we can follow their lead in this current movement. Luis Angel\, a DACA recipient who is a lawyer and runs a legal firm that provides deportation defense\, will give us his perspective.\n\nWhen: Wednesday\, September 27th\, 11 am – 1 pm\nWhere: Congregational Church of San Mateo\, 225 Tilton Ave\, San Mateo\n\nWhat can we as clergy do to help? How can we be part of a growing movement to protect DACA recipients? How can we support the undocumented youth and listen to their needs? How we be politically astute as we add our moral leadership to these times?\n\nI hope you can attend. We’ll need at least 15 participants. Please RSVP to Amie by Monday the 25th so we can order food for lunch.\nLet’s accompany these undocumented youth on their journey during these difficult times. We are all connected….\n\nGrateful for your peace and justice work\,\n\nPenny Nixon

SUMMARY:Jewish Heritage Celebration- De Anza College
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to experience an interactive overview of Judaism.  We will explore Jewish culture\, diversity\, and history. Some common myths and stereotypes are revealed by way  of discussion\, stories\, and candid questions such as “Who is a Jew?” and “What is Judaism?” Engage in the complexities of a 5\,777-year-old culture that has persevered and contributed to the mosaic of modern day society. Enjoy Jewish culture\, music\, and tastes of food. \nAbout the Trainer:   \nDaryn Michelle Stier’s interest in diversity awareness and the cultural celebration began from childhood and took off when she attended Oberlin College for its social justice and cross-cultural awareness that was an integral fabric of its history and educational approach. There she began SOAR-Students Organized against Racism- in order to have an active student group whose primary purpose was to look at group ethnic and multi-racial communication skills as well as assessment modalities for institutional race awareness. At the University of Michigan\, Daryn got her Masters in Social Work with a focus on Interpersonal Counseling and Community Organization. Daryn discovered an underserved population in the school’s coursework—women—and organized the student body to address the lack of any courses focusing on women in the curriculum. A course on women’s’ issues was developed and is now part of the school’s offerings. Daryn also worked at the University of Michigan’s Counseling Center and served on their Cross-Cultural Counseling Team. \nRegister online  \nFunded by DASB Heritage Months-Multicultural Education Funds \nCo-Sponsors: Co-Sponsors include Euphrat Museum of Art\, Black Leadership Collective\, African American Studies\, Intercultural/International Studies Division\, & VIDA \nThis event is ADA accessible.
