We are saddened to hear of the passing of Barnstable Town Councilor Felicia Penn. A lifelong resident of Hyannis, Felicia lived a life filled with achievement and service. In business, government and politics Felicia strove for her vision of what Cape Cod can be. The Barnstable Democratic Town Committee extends our condolences to Felicia's family and friends.
May her memory be a blessing. https://www.chapmanfuneral.com/obituaries/Felicia-R-Penn?obId=48712122

Whatever your interest, whatever your passion, there are local groups working actively on the issue. Here are a few :
IMMIGRANT RIGHTS:
There are a number of local organizations that are active in immigrant rights issues. Below is a list of the ones I have had contact with along with a point of contact for each. I don't really have phone contacts as everything is done via emails and zoom calls. Besides, I think folks are reluctant to put their personal phone information in general circulation.
