Fresno Interdenominational Refugee Ministries

On Tuesday, Dec. 13, ten Hmong leaders joined 20 other community leaders from our 6 Building Healthy Community partners and many agency partners at the final meeting of the Downtown Neighborhoods Community Advisory Council. The meeting took place in the Fresno City Council Chambers.

After 4 hours of talking, our leaders stayed engaged and prepared to share their stories with council members to advocate for jobs. Our support for local hiring, affordable housing, funding for parks, a more open appeals process, funding for street lighting, and more ensured that new language on ALL our asks WERE included in the plan.
