Ciekawi mnie, jak starsi mieszkańcy Woli odnoszą się do nowych "napływowych" mieszkańców, często z różnych stron Polski i niezwiązanych wcześniej z Warszawą, którzy kupili mieszkanie na Jana Kazimierza, Ordona czy na Kolejowej, w ten sposób, że nie pojawiali się stopniowo tylko zjawili się tu jedną wielką falą w ciągu ostatnich 10-15 lat.
A ci ludzie z kolei, czy oni też poczuwają się do "wolskości?". Pytanie można rozszerzyć na inne dzielnice, mnie w tej chwili interesuje #Wola.

Dispatch from the Border: Ciudad Juárez, Mexico and El Paso, Texas

WRC and WOLA are deeply disturbed that we needed to travel to five different cities in three different countries to learn about what is happening in our own. However, what we learned on this trip reinforced the vital need for this research and documentation, especially as the scope and scale of immigration enforcement increases.
