SUPPORTING IMMIGRANTS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY
Every person, regardless of their immigration status, deserves to be safe and respected in our Jefferson County communities. At Edgewater Collective, we stand with immigrants and their desire to make a home here in Jefferson County. We stand against efforts to dehumanize and demonize immigrants.
