| Beginning Monday June 29, SFIWJ has been actively involved in supporting the families living in the Redland Labor Center. These families are fighting to keep the camp's school open. The school operates pre-K, after school, and summer programs in five trailers (all free of charge). The school board's lease for the land and contract ended on June 30, 2009, and Director of the Homestead Housing Authority, Edmund Carrera, has refused to sign the contract. The families of the Redland Center are also attempting to work with Homestead city officials to get this issue resolved. Local CBS4 and Telemundo51 stations have reported on this issue.The Miami-Herald has also published an article. |
