This month, NEDAP led community financial literacy and justice trainings in Hawaii and New Mexico. Deyanira Del Rio facilitated a workshop on justice-based approaches to homeowner education at the 2007 Convention of the National Coalition for Asian and Pacific American Community Development (CAPACD) and the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement, in Honolulu.
Dey then joined Rebeca Gamez in Las Cruces, New Mexico, to train Colonias Development Council (CDC) in NEDAP's Financial Literacy and Justice curriculum. CDC will teach the curriculum to residents of the colonias, communities along the U.S.-Mexico border, using a promotoras peer education model, and as a springboard for local economic justice organizing.
NEDAP Film Series Wraps up Successful First Season On August 8, NEDAP wrapped up its 2007 Community Economic Justice Film Series with a screening of In Debt We Trust: America Before the Bubble Bursts, a film that examines America's record-setting consumer and national debt burdens. Following the screening, NEDAP board member Catherine Barnett, Associate Director of Project Enterprise, facilitated a discussion with the film's director, Danny Schechter, and NEDAP board member Josh Zinner, Deputy Commissioner for Enforcement at the NYS Division of Human Rights.
