  1. Hello I am Lacey Soto. I am a student Pastor at UrbanMission Pomona, and a student at Claremont School of Theology. I am growing more and more interested in joing the cause of immigrant worker, and families. I am currently trying to put together a white paper on immigrant demographics as well as identify some of the issues that immigrants in Pomona face. If you have some information that could be helpful in this respect or are interested in partnering in future events, I would we thrilled to start some conversation.

    Also, I would really like to get in touch with Dr. Martha Bárcenas-Mooradian. If you could pass on my contact information to her as well, I would appreciate it. Lacey Soto 805-458-4799
