Materials created through the “We Live Here” project are from art workshops and campaigns focused on local issues that SOMCAN members of immigrant youth and families are collectively organizing on so they can live, work and thrive in San Francisco. The display is centered at the library of City College San Francisco in tandem with programming and courses offered in the city’s largest community college.
