My postings this week will most likely not be as long. I am traveling to Minnesota from mid-week to Sunday. I am going to be participating in a great retreat!
In anticipation of the week not all at work- I met with the workers today at noon to let them know what I have spend the summer doing. I laid out the original plan that is now altered and will produce an end result (hopefully) with the director of planning and building for the diocese. Next, I told the guys about the delegations that I have gone on with Joseph to all the different churches, the meetings that we have had with the different men and women. Bulletin announcements were next on the agenda. It took some explaining, but the guys got the gist and were glad. Another step was a letter to the president of a construction company here in Phoenix who has refused to meet with workers and other community organizers. I drafted the letter, had it approved by my supervisors, sent to legal and signed by the IWJ-Arizona affiliate Director. We will be conducting a “pray-in” because we do not anticipate that he will want to meet with us. This seems to be my seminal project for my CPE.
Of all the projects that I explained to the workers over the hour-long meeting, this got the most reaction. The workers have been escorted off the building premises several times because this man refuses to meet and have a conversation with the workers.
Have a great week, if you are also traveling, be safe and enjoy!
