<br>
I want to quickly say WELCOME To the team from Chile (south america).<br>
They had their first C&C yesterday.<br>
<br>
I htink i already introduced Carlos Guerra, but just in case, he is one<br>
of the first folks from Latin America that became heavily involved with<br>
the IFF community. I credit him, and a few others, for helping create<br>
such a welcoming space that empowers Latino and other Global South<br>
voices. He has a golden heart and a amazing skills (he was a Mozilla<br>
Open Web Fellow, has done censorship analysis, etc etc.)<br>
<br>
Constanza Figueroa is a creative soul, and super reflective of the<br>
amazing feminism movement based in Latin America. She was a 2018 IFF<br>
fellow, and is the person you want to speak to if you need something<br>
designed beautifully and with soul.<br>
<br>
Constanza, maybe you can help us design a logo for the CC?? No pressure!<br>
Only if you are open to it!!<br>
<br>
PLEASE share any updates on how your event went in Chile!!<br>
<br>
<br>
Folks,<br>
<br>
please give a warm welcome!!<br>
<br>
Sandy<br>
