Centro Del Pueblo was created in response to the wave of anti immigration rhetoric and the increase of ICE raids in Humboldt County. The organization advocates for immigrant rights, organizing rallies, marches and most recently pushing its own initiative for sanctuary in Humboldt County. The initiative itself wont violate SB54 in anyway or violate the U.S. Constitution, what it will do is add extra layers of protection for the undocumented community from being persecuted by ICE, and promoting a safer community between the county and the immigrant community.
Humboldt County Women's Ethnographic Archive
- Fabiola SahagunAnthropologyUndergraduate Student
- Tim RyanAnthropologyUndergraduate Student
This goal of this project is to establish the Humboldt County Women’s Ethnographic Archive through the Anthropology department at Humboldt State University. An ethnographic archive is a collection of materials that provide historical and contemporary information about a place, group of people, or institution. Archives provide a repository for unpublished and other unique materials that preserve cultural memory and supplement the historical record. Women’s archives are particularly important as women’s contributions have generally been underrepresented in historical collections. The HCWEA’s mission will be to preserve the contributions and culture of Humboldt women from all walks of life.
