CLP 2015 TEAM PROJECTS
1. ECONOMIC DIVIDE/Food Justice in East San Jose: Farah Gowani, Wilma Jacoksen, Stacey Lee, Vivian Luong, Yesenia Ramos, Tony Santa Ana.
(one idea: to create a "Humans of Santa Clara County" type project where we take photographs of and interview residents in Santa Clara County to highlight the economic divides/inequality in an artistic way...)
2. UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS: Christy Chung, Sylvia Leung, Brendan Mar, Rambo Shyy, Lenine Umali.
(one idea: How does President Obama's Immigration Accountability Executive Action affect Santa Clara County, and what are specific ways it could be implemented here?)
3. HOMELESSNESS: Patrick Ahrens, Shay Franco-Clausen, Andrew Knaack, Jennifer Melgarejo, Monica Tong, Kathleen Yates.
(one idea: a project that researches DeAnza students and homelessness - I believe there are a number of students who live in
their cars. Also students who receive food from the food bank of West Valley Community Services. Perhaps come up with an action.)
4. SEX TRAFFICKING: Adriana Hernandez, Rishi Kumar, Saul Ramos, Marynka Rojas, Edwin Tan, Ann Marie Tran.
(one idea: a project that researches sex trafficking in Silicon Valley, another idea: 2016 Superbowl in Santa Clara 49 Stadium)
