Fresno County Residents Council First Community Congress is a Success!

In late April the 80 member Children’s Movement of Fresno Residents Council completed its first ever Fresno County Community Congress with a gathering of over 320 attendees at the Fresno Fairgrounds. The Congress which was held in 5 languages–English-with simultaneous translations in Spanish, Hmong, Arabic, and Khmer—marked the culmination of 18 months of study and work to build the Resident’s Council Team and to develop a policy agenda intended to make a better future for Fresno County’s children and their families. The day was filled with presentations, proposals, remarks from leaders and culminated in a vote by those present to adopt the policy “Issue Action Agenda.”
