Story Swap, Immigration Stories

Everyone loves a good story and in 2019 with the help of storyteller Cassandra Sagan, Maggid-Educator, OJMCHE is going to be storytime headquarters. Cassandra will be working with community members from across cultural and social service agencies to polish their stories for sharing and the audience will also have the opportunity to share in an open mic segment.

In this second of three story swaps, Marc Blattner and Rachel Nelson, of the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, and Sankar Raman and Wafa Almaktari, from The Immigrant Project, will share their stories.

The series will conclude March 19 with Stories of Resistance: featuring Mike Murawski, Portland Art Museum, Bobbin Singh, the Oregon Justice Resource Center, and Erin McKee, co-founder of OJRC and co-director of OJRC’s Immigrant Rights Project.
