Good morning I'm subbing in today! Welcome to Montrose Fresh, from The Montrose Daily Press. It's Wednesday April 7th and we're here with local news, events, announcements, and more that matter to us here in Western Colorado.     Today -- We're highlighting Ricardo Perez and the Hispanic Affairs Project which has implemented ways for the local Latino community to thrive.   Today's episode is brought to you by Elevate Internet. Whether it's for your home or your business they offer the best speeds at the best price. Right now, if you refer a friend you can get $25 off! Give them a call for more information at 844-386-8744 or visit them at elevateinternet.com   --   Now, our feature story.    Born in El Salvador, Ricardo Perez knows all too well what it means to help a fellow person.    Starting his work as a community organizer in 1987, Perez visited rural communities suffering from the Salvadoran Civil War. Later he worked with refugees.    In 1992 Perez moved to Guatemala and worked with Guatemalan refugees.   Working with nonprofits and the local government, Perez eventually helped in the return of refugees to specific areas in El Salvador at the end of the civil war.    It was this extensive experience helped spark the rise of the Hispanic Affairs Project. Established in 2005 - it now serves western Colorado.    In 2009 Perez was nominated to become the executive director for the organization. Around that same time the organization became a 501c3 nonprofit.   In 12 years since, the nonprofit has led a mission that works to support the social development of the Hispanic immigrant community through a focus on leadership formation, community organizing and advocacy.   Today, HAP provides legal assistance, sexual and domestic violence awareness. They also work to combat human trafficking and champion pro immigrant policies.    Over the years, the nonprofit's work has provided immigration legal assistance to nearly 1,000 families.   The organization celebrated a victory on the federal level against the Department of Labor to increase the salary, and add labor protections, for foreign workers in the US sheep industry. This was an incredible victory.   Perez said that one of their missions is to make sure that new people are having a sense of belonging. Especially since over the last four years it has been very hard for the immigrant community.    Perez emphasizes that there's still work to be done. He says there is still a lack of policies to support immigrant integration in Colorado.    But that could change. In the 2021 legislative session, there are more than a dozen pro immigrant bills that have the potential to shift the way organizations like HAP could help the Hispanic community.    To learn more about this story visit us at Montrosepress.com and check out our Montrose Gives section. -   Finally, we'd like to take a moment to remember the life of    Chris Liller of Montrose who passed away unexpectedly.   Chris was born in Denver and graduated in the class of 1976 from Manuel High School. After high school, Chris went straight to work doing general and specialty contracting on various construction jobs throughout Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado.    In August of 2005 Chris became a partner in an Independent Construction Business in Montrose. Later, Chris continued to do construction and became a sales representative at ERTEC Environmental Systems until the time of his death.   Chris enjoyed staying busy and being out in nature. He had an unconditional love for his Labradors including, Drake, Eddie, and Buck. He enjoyed fly fishing, rafting, jet skiing, barbecuing with friends, hiking, and taking his 4-wheeler up to the mountains to enjoy God's Country.    Chris also had an eye for beautiful scenery and views. He would always take along his camera to capture them, and to take pictures of the animals that he would encounter on his rides. He liked to tell stories about his adventures with friends, and would often invite them to go along with him on his next ride.    Chris had a huge heart, and would try to help people in any way that he could. He was well known in the community for his friendly nature and outspoken personality.    Chris will be missed and remembered by all who knew him. Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate his life.   -   That's all for today, thank you for listening!

The concept of organizational justice is based on the idea of fairness. How an environment that is built on healthy balance, equity and justice can affect employees, and how the lack of such environment can equally and negatively impact the well being and performance of employees. Today I want to focus on one particular organization that is doing just that. TOGETHER! is a nonprofit organization founded in 1989 that serves youth and families in the South Sound with a mission to advance the health and well-being of all young people. They offer direct service youth programs, mobilize communities through coalitions, advocate for healthier laws, norms and systems and promote health through community and individual education. My guest is Kahlo Flores, the director of the Clubhouse Dual Language - before and after school program branch of together, and her insights as to how implementing the fundamentals of organizational justice have in a short time transformed the two schools that she oversees. Kahlo was born in a small town in Mexico. Her family moved to Wenatchee Washington where she grew up and played varsity soccer for the Wenatchee Panthers, as well as, playing trumpet for the High school's popular mariachi group known as Mariachi Huenachi. She moved to Western Washington and worked for the Senate and the Commission on Hispanic Affairs located at the state capitol. Kahlo obtained her bachelor's degree from The Evergreen State College in Olympia and is now currently enrolled in Evergreen's master's in public administration program. Kahlo has focused on educational equity, social justice, community outreach, and Latinx issues. She joined TOGETHER! a Thurston county non-profit in 2016 starting as a volunteer through Evergreen and is now the Cohort 16 Club House and Dual Language Director. Through TOGETHER! she directs two after-school programs for the North Thurston School District serving 120 students daily grades 1st-5th.

A career pause for any reason can create an identity crisis. This was especially true for Dr. Julieta Crosby, who gave up her country, her language, her family, and her culture at the same time she gave up her career working with the indigenous artisans of Mexico. When she moved to America, she lost her voice and, despite having several degrees, was forced back to community college to learn English so she could find her way in her new country. Since then, she's found a passion for education and advocacy for the Latino population. Today, amongst her many community engagements, she is the President of her own foundation, WAGRO Association and serves as a Commissioner on the WA State Commission on Hispanic Affairs.
