Adelante Office Updates
Due to COVID-19 (coronavirus), we have decided to CLOSE our office to the public until April 30, 2020. It’s critical that we ensure the health of our members and of the community in this moment of uncertainty. Also, we are POSTPONING these events until further notice: Annual Membership Meeting, English classes, Women’s Groups, ALL committee meetings and other events normally held at Adelante. Adelante staff will continue working from home and can be contacted by phone. For help with workers’ rights or immigration detention cases, or for other needs or questions, call us at (205) 317-1481 or email us at info@adelantealabama.org.
