Jillian forwarded on the NPR article about Chico, where the MCN West Coast office is located, just down the hill from what once was Paradise, California: “In The Aftermath Of The Camp Fire, A Slow, Simmering Crisis In Nearby Chico. [3]”

Del shared new materials by the Institute for Mexicans Abroad [4] that aim to make information more accessible in a variety of indigenous languages including Náhuatl de la Huasteca and Zapoteco de la Planicie Costera.

Del also sent along this new fact sheet from the American Immigration Council: “Workers with Temporary Protected Status in Key Industries and States. [5]”

Claire recommended this Vox article, “Three Big Takeaways from the Disasters that Hammered the US in 2018. [6]” (Spoiler alert -- number three is that “we’re still not planning adequately for these disasters.”)
Have a safe and healthy weekend.
