Parish IDs, the power in developing immigrant leadership, and the importance of rest and self-care with Ana Chavarin
<p>In this episode, I speak with Ana Chavarin. Ana Chavarin is a member of St. John the Evangelist Parish in Tucson, Ariz., and formerly an organizer for Pima County Interfaith. During her over 10 year tenure as an oganizer, she was awarded the 2019 Cardinal Bernardin New Leadership Award from the U.S. bishops’ Catholic Campaign for Human Development. In 2018 she won a US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) award for Hispanic Catholic Leaders and was also recognized by the Arizona Daily Star for her community achievements. Ana has helped the immigrant community address issues of community safety, drug abuse, rights of the undocumented, and how to become a citizen. Most recently she helped launch the first printing of parish identification cards in Tucson. In our conversation we talk about her religious upbringing and the influential roles her grandparents paid in her youth. Additionally, she shares the story of how she originally came to the United States. Other themes our conversation touch on includes the importance of getting involved in your community, speaking up when you see injustice, and not just that, taking concrete steps to change those conditions. </p> <ul> <li><strong>Learn more about the parish ID project </strong><a href="https://www.swiaf.org/2311_pci_parishid" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>.</strong></li> <li><strong>Want to connect with me?</strong> ReclaimingSJ@gmail.com</li> <li><strong>Have feedback?</strong> Send your thoughts and recommendations here: https://bit.ly/reclaimingsjfeedback<br></li> </ul> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reclaimingsj/message
